The Company | |
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (including our subsidiaries, referred to collectively herein as “NXP”, “NXP Semiconductors”, “we”, “our”, “us” and the “Company”) is a global semiconductors company and a long-standing supplier in the industry, with over 50 years of innovation and operating history. We provide leading High Performance Mixed Signal and Standard Product solutions that leverage our deep application insight and our technology and manufacturing expertise in radio frequency, analog, power management, interface, security and digital processing products. Our product solutions are used in a wide range of application areas including: automotive, identification, wireless infrastructure, lighting, industrial, mobile, consumer, computing and software solutions for mobile phones. | |
We were incorporated in the Netherlands as a Dutch private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) under the name KASLION Acquisition B.V. on August 2, 2006, in connection with the sale by Philips of 80.1% of its semiconductor business to the “Private Equity Consortium”. | |
On May 21, 2010, we converted into a Dutch public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) and changed our name to NXP Semiconductors N.V. | |
In August 2010, we made an initial public offering and listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. | |
Accounting policies | |
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Historical cost is used as the measurement basis unless otherwise indicated. | |
Use of estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Reclassifications | |
Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. | |
The current liability for payroll and related benefits previously reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within the caption Accrued Liabilities has been reclassified for all periods presented to a separate caption in the current year presentation. | |
Realignment of business segments | |
During the first quarter of 2013, we moved our General Purpose Logic Product Line from our HPMS segment (Portable & Computing) to our SP segment; and our NXP software product line to our HPMS Segment (Industrial & Infrastructure) from Corporate and Other to better reflect underlying market dynamics, product complexity and the management of the business. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2013 we determined that a change to our reportable segments was warranted due to the significant decline in external revenues and costs reported by Manufacturing Operations (“MO”). These external results are, to a large extent, derived from revenue of wafer foundry and packaging services to our divested businesses in order to support their separation and, on a limited basis, their ongoing operations. MO’s results are also not regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess operating performance and allocate resources as its primary function is to manage the Company’s internal manufacturing and supply chain activities and substantially all of its results are reflected within the operating segments utilizing its services. As a result, since Manufacturing Operations no longer meets the criteria for an operating segment, its results will be reflected within Corporate and Other effective the fourth quarter of 2013. | |
The changes described above to the Company’s internal management reporting structure were evaluated under the criteria of ASC Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280 “Segment Reporting”. As a result of the above changes to the composition of our operating and reportable segments, corresponding information for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. | |
Discontinued operations | |
During 2011, the Company sold its Sound Solutions business. See Note 17 “Discontinued Operations”. |

2 Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||||||||
Principles for consolidated financial statements | |||||||||||||||||
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including NXP B.V. and all entities in which the Company holds a direct or indirect controlling interest, in such a way that the Company would have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be potentially significant to the Company. Investments in companies in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s share of the net income of these companies is included in results relating to equity-accounted investees in the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net income (loss) includes the portion of the earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. The income (loss) and equity attributable to non-controlling interests are disclosed separately in the consolidated statements of operations and in the consolidated balance sheets under non-controlling interests. | |||||||||||||||||
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree are recognized as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. | |||||||||||||||||
For acquisitions on or after January 1, 2010, the Company measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: | |||||||||||||||||
• | The fair value of the consideration transferred; plus | ||||||||||||||||
• | The recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less | ||||||||||||||||
• | The net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed | ||||||||||||||||
Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. | |||||||||||||||||
Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Fair value measurements | |||||||||||||||||
Fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for an identical asset or liability, we develop assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, utilize internal information that we consider to be consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Priority is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs form the basis for the following fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and valuations based on models where the inputs are observable or where the significant value drivers are observable. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. | ||||||||||||||||
Accounting for capital transactions of a subsidiary or an equity-accounted investee | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes dilution gains or losses related to changes in ownership of consolidated entities directly in equity. In the case of loss of control of a subsidiary any dilution gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the line item other income and expense. Dilution gains and losses related to equity-accounted investees are presented in the line item results relating to equity-accounted investees. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign currencies | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Holding company is the euro. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of the entities within the Company with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates on the applicable balance sheet dates. Income and expense items in the statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows are translated at monthly exchange rates in the periods involved. | |||||||||||||||||
The effects of translating the financial position and results of operations from functional currencies to reporting currency are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholder’s equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is recorded under non-controlling interests. When the Company’s ownership in a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the related cumulative translation adjustments are recognized as income or expense as part of the gain or loss on the disposal. However, when the Company disposes only a part of its ownership interest in a foreign subsidiary while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative translation adjustments is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in a foreign equity-accounted investee, while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative translation adjustments is recognized as income or expense as part of the gain or loss on the disposal. However, translation results from the Company’s functional currency (euro) into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. dollar) will not be recycled to the statement of operations as long as there is the assumption that the proceeds from the sale will be reinvested. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table sets out the exchange rates for euros into U.S. dollars applicable for translation of NXP’s financial statements for the periods specified. | |||||||||||||||||

The functional currency of foreign entities is generally the local currency, unless the primary economic environment requires the use of another currency. When foreign entities conduct their business in economies considered to be highly inflationary, they record transactions in the Company’s reporting currency instead of their local currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of operations, except when the foreign exchange exposure is part of a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge accounting relationship, in which case the related foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective and presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in the statement of operations. Currency gains and losses on intercompany loans that have the nature of a permanent investment are recognized as translation differences in other comprehensive income and are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity. | |||||||||||||||||
Derivative financial instruments including hedge accounting | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the management of its foreign currency risks and the input costs of gold for a portion of our anticipated purchases within the next 12 months. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company measures all derivative financial instruments based on fair values derived from market prices of the instruments or from option pricing models, as appropriate, and records these as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. Changes in the fair values are immediately recognized in the statement of operations unless cash flow hedge accounting is applied. | |||||||||||||||||
Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. The application of cash flow hedge accounting for foreign currency risks is limited to transactions that represent a substantial currency risk that could materially affect the financial position of the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign currency gains or losses arising from the translation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, to the extent that the hedge is effective, and are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders equity. | |||||||||||||||||
To the extent that a hedge is ineffective, the ineffective portion of the fair value change is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. When the hedged net investment is disposed of, the corresponding amount in the accumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to the statement of operations as part of the profit or loss on disposal. | |||||||||||||||||
On initial designation of the hedge relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, the Company documents this relationship, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125 percent. | |||||||||||||||||
When cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued because it is not probable that a forecasted transaction will occur within a period of two months from the originally forecasted transaction date, the Company continues to carry the derivative on the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings. In situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in earnings. | |||||||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | |||||||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. It also includes cash balances that cannot be freely repatriated based on certain country restrictions. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at face value which approximates fair value. | |||||||||||||||||
Receivables | |||||||||||||||||
Receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and net of rebates and other contingent discounts granted to distributors. When circumstances indicate a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligation to us is impaired, we record an allowance against amounts due and value the receivable at the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, we evaluate our trade accounts receivable for collectability based on numerous factors including objective evidence about credit-risk concentration, collective debt risk based on average historical losses, and specific circumstances such as serious adverse economic conditions in a specific country or region. | |||||||||||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, less advance payments on work in progress. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An allowance is made for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This allowance is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand and market conditions. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense and waste are not capitalized in inventory. The allocation of fixed production overheads to the inventory cost is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. | |||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment | |||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected economic life of the asset. Depreciation of special tooling is also based on the straight-line method unless a depreciation method other than the straight-line method better represents the consumption pattern. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in other income and expense. Plant and equipment under capital leases are initially recorded at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of minimum lease payments. These assets and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. | |||||||||||||||||
Goodwill | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. Accordingly, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. | |||||||||||||||||
An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the asset’s implied fair value. This determination is made at the business operating segment level, which is for the Company the reporting unit level in accordance with ASC 350. The Company may use the option to assess first qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. The Company then determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the goodwill and intangible assets, to the reporting units. Furthermore, the Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit and compares it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company performs the second step of the impairment test. In the second step, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to acquisition accounting in a business combination. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of the reporting units based on discounted projected cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. | |||||||||||||||||
The determination of the fair value of the reporting unit requires us to make significant judgments and estimates including projections of future cash flows from the business. These estimates and required assumptions include estimated revenue and revenue growth rates, operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, estimated future capital expenditures, future economic and market conditions, determination of market comparables and the estimated weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). | |||||||||||||||||
We base our estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but any such estimates are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from these estimates. In addition, we make judgments and assumptions in allocating assets and liabilities to each of our reporting segments. | |||||||||||||||||
Identified Intangible assets | |||||||||||||||||
Identified Intangible assets with definitive lives arising from acquisitions are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Remaining useful lives are evaluated every year to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. The Company considers renewal and extension options in determining the useful life. However, based on experience the Company concluded that these assets have no extension or renewal possibilities. In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) projects acquired as part of a business combination with no alternative use are capitalized and indefinitely lived until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. Upon completion of each project, IPR&D assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. During development, IPR&D assets are not amortized but tested annually for impairment. There are currently no intangible assets with indefinite lives. Patents, trademarks and other intangible assets acquired from third parties are capitalized at cost and amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives. | |||||||||||||||||
Certain costs relating to the development and purchase of software for internal use are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the estimated useful life of the software in conformity with ASC 350. | |||||||||||||||||
Impairment or disposal of identified intangible assets and tangible fixed assets | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for intangible assets other than goodwill and tangible fixed assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. Long-lived assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset with future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company determines the fair value based on discounted projected cash flows. The review for impairment is carried out at the level where discrete cash flows occur that are largely independent of other cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. Management must make significant judgments and apply a number of assumptions in estimating the future cash flows. The estimated cash flows are determined based on, among other things, our strategic plans, long-range forecasts, estimated growth rates and assumed profit margins. The evaluation of identified intangible assets and tangible fixed assets for impairment is carried out at a Corporate level as the majority of our assets are used jointly or managed at Corporate level. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. | |||||||||||||||||
Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups | |||||||||||||||||
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale must be highly probable. | |||||||||||||||||
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. The Company determines the fair value based on discounted projected cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. Depreciation or amortization of an asset ceases when it is classified as held for sale, or included within a disposal group that is classified as held for sale. | |||||||||||||||||
Discontinued operations | |||||||||||||||||
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that either has been disposed of, or that is classified as held for sale, and: (i) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company in terms of operations and cash flows or (ii) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. Generally, a major line of business is a segment or business unit. Discontinued operations are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company determines the fair value based on discounted projected cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. Results from discontinued operations until the date of disposal are presented separately as a single amount in the consolidated statements of operations together with any gain or loss from disposal. Results from discontinued operations are reclassified for all periods presented and reflected as income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, within the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Research and development | |||||||||||||||||
Costs of research and development are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, except for in-process research and development assets acquired in business combinations, which are capitalized and, after completion, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. | |||||||||||||||||
Advertising | |||||||||||||||||
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. | |||||||||||||||||
Guarantees | |||||||||||||||||
The Company complies with ASC 460 “Guarantees”. The Company recognizes, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability at the fair value of the obligation incurred, for guarantees within the scope of the recognition criteria. The Company determines the fair value based on either quoted prices for similar guarantees or discounted projected cash flows, whichever is available. | |||||||||||||||||
Debt Issuance Costs | |||||||||||||||||
Direct costs incurred to obtain financings are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. Upon extinguishment of any related debt, any unamortized debt issuance costs are expensed immediately. | |||||||||||||||||
Earnings per share | |||||||||||||||||
Basic earnings per share attributable to stockholders is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. | |||||||||||||||||
Diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders is determined using the weighted-average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising share-based awards, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of excess tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue recognition | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from made-to-order sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and similar customers. The Company’s revenue is also derived from sales to distributors. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company applies the guidance in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 13 ‘Revenue Recognition’ and recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or the service has been provided, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured, based on the terms and conditions of the sales contract. For made-to-order sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped and delivered to the customer and title and risk have passed to the customer. Acceptance of the product by the customer is generally not contractually required, since, for made-to-order customers, design approval occurs before manufacturing and subsequently delivery follows without further acceptance protocols. Payment terms used are those that are customary in the particular geographic market. When management has established that all aforementioned conditions for revenue recognition have been met and no further post-shipment obligations exist, revenue is recognized. | |||||||||||||||||
For sales to distributors, revenue is recognized upon sale to the distributor (sell-in accounting). The same recognition principles apply and similar terms and conditions as for sales to other customers are applied. However, for some distributors contractual arrangements are in place, which allow these distributors to return products if certain conditions are met. These conditions generally relate to the time period during which return is allowed and reflect customary conditions in the particular geographic market. Other return conditions relate to circumstances arising at the end of a product life cycle, when certain distributors are permitted to return products purchased during a pre-defined period after the Company has announced a product’s pending discontinuance. However, long notice periods associated with these announcements prevent significant amounts of product from being returned. Repurchase agreements with OEMs or distributors are not entered into by the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
For sales where return rights exist, the Company has determined, based on historical data, that only a very small percentage of the sales to this type of distributor is actually returned. In accordance with these historical data, a pro rata portion of the sales to these distributors is not recognized but deferred until the return period has lapsed or the other return conditions no longer apply. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue is recorded net of sales taxes, customer discounts, rebates and other contingent discounts granted to distributors. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue. Expenses incurred for shipping and handling costs of internal movements of goods are recorded as cost of revenue. Shipping and handling costs related to revenue to third parties are reported as selling expenses within selling, general and administrative. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenues from the sale or licensing of the Company’s intellectual property are recognized when the significant contractual obligations have been fulfilled and the fundamental revenue recognition criteria of SAB Topic 13 are met. Royalty income is recognized upon the sale of products subject to royalties and is recognized based upon reports received from licensees during the period, unless collectability is not reasonably assured, in which case revenue is recognized when payment is received from the licensee. Government grants, other than those relating to purchases of assets, are recognized as income as qualified expenditures are made. Software revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985 “Software Revenue Recognition” when the 4 criteria of SAB Topic 13 are met. | |||||||||||||||||
Financial income and expense | |||||||||||||||||
Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested and the net gain on the disposal of other financial assets. | |||||||||||||||||
Financial expense comprises interest expense on borrowings, accretion of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, losses on disposal of financial assets, impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables) and losses on hedging instruments recognized in the statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statement of operations using the effective interest method. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign currency gains and losses, not related to accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany current accounts, are reported on a net basis as either financial income or financial expense in the statement of operations depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. Foreign currency gains and losses on accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany current accounts that are not hedged in a net investment hedge are reported under cost of revenue in the statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Income taxes | |||||||||||||||||
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. | |||||||||||||||||
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based upon the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the change. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax liabilities for withholding taxes on dividends from subsidiaries are recognized in situations where the company does not consider the earnings permanently reinvested and to the extent that these withholding taxes are not expected to be refundable. | |||||||||||||||||
Deferred tax assets, including assets arising from loss carryforwards, are recognized, net of a valuation allowance, if it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. The Company has significant deferred tax assets primarily related to net operating losses in the Netherlands, France, Germany, the USA and other countries. The realization of deferred tax assets is not assured and is dependent on the generation of sufficient taxable income in the future. We have exercised judgment in determining whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of these net operating losses and other deductible temporary differences, based upon estimates of future taxable income in the various jurisdictions and any feasible tax planning strategies. | |||||||||||||||||
The income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The income tax benefit recognized in the financial statements from such position is measured based on the largest benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits and the related interest and penalties is recorded under accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet based on the timing of the expected payment. Penalties are recorded as income tax expense, whereas interest is reported as financial expense in the statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Postretirement benefits | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for the cost of pension plans and postretirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with ASC 715 “Compensation-Retirement Benefits”. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s employees participate in pension and other postretirement benefit plans in many countries. The costs of pension and other postretirement benefits and related assets and liabilities with respect to the Company’s employees participating in defined-benefit plans are based upon actuarial valuations. Some of the Company’s defined-benefit pension plans are funded with plan assets that have been segregated and restricted in a trust, foundation or insurance company to provide for the pension benefits to which the Company has committed itself. | |||||||||||||||||
The net pension liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the projected defined-benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets at the balance sheet date. | |||||||||||||||||
Most of the Company’s plans are unfunded and result in a pension provision or a net pension liability. | |||||||||||||||||
The projected defined-benefit obligation is calculated annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. For the Company’s major plans, the discount rate is derived from market yields on high quality corporate bonds. Plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market use a discount rate based on the local government bond rates. | |||||||||||||||||
Pension costs in respect of defined-benefit pension plans primarily represent the increase in the actuarial present value of the obligation for pension benefits based on employee service during the year and the interest on this obligation in respect of employee service in previous years, net of the expected return on plan assets and net of employee contributions. | |||||||||||||||||
Actuarial gains and losses arise mainly from changes in actuarial assumptions and differences between actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred. They are recognized in the statement of operations, over the expected average remaining service periods of the employees only to the extent that their net cumulative amount exceeds 10% of the greater of the present value of the obligation or of the fair value of plan assets at the end of the previous year (the corridor). Events which invoke a curtailment or a settlement of a benefit plan will be recognized in our statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
In calculating obligation and expense, the Company is required to select actuarial assumptions. These assumptions include discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and rates of increase in compensation costs determined based on current market conditions, historical information and consultation with and input from our actuaries. Changes in the key assumptions can have a significant impact to the projected benefit obligations, funding requirements and periodic pension cost incurred. A sensitivity analysis is provided in Note 9, “Postretirement Benefit Plans”. | |||||||||||||||||
Unrecognized prior-service costs related to pension plans and postretirement benefits other than pensions are amortized to the statements of operations over the average remaining service period of the active employees. | |||||||||||||||||
Contributions to defined-contribution and multi-employer pension plans are recognized as an expense in the statements of operations as incurred. | |||||||||||||||||
In accordance with the requirements of ASC 715, if the projected benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets, we recognize in the consolidated balance sheet a liability that equals the excess. If the fair value of plan assets exceeds the projected benefit obligation, we recognize in the balance sheet an asset that equals the excess. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company determines the fair value of plan assets based on quoted prices or comparable prices for non-quoted assets. For a defined-benefit pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation; for any other postretirement defined benefit plan it is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes as a component of other comprehensive income, net of taxes, the gains or losses and prior service costs that arise during the year but are not recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to ASC 715. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, including the gains or losses and the prior services costs are adjusted as they are subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs pursuant to the recognition provisions of ASC 715. | |||||||||||||||||
For all of the Company’s defined pension benefit plans, the measurement date is year-end. | |||||||||||||||||
Share-based compensation | |||||||||||||||||
NXP has share-based payment plans under which its employees receive options and other share-based awards. The plans provide for the granting of stock options, performance share units, restricted stock units and equity rights. All plans are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 “Compensation, Stock Compensation” at the estimated fair value of the equity instruments measured at the grant date. For grants issued up to August 2010, the Company used a binomial option-pricing model to determine the estimated fair value for options and determined the fair value of equity rights on the basis of the estimated fair value of the Company, using a discounted cash flow technique. For option grants issued since August 2010, the Company uses the Black-Scholes method and determined the fair value of equity awards with a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. NXP stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to 100% of the market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, generally have ten-year contractual terms, and vest ratably over four years from date of grant. NXP has also granted performance share units and restricted stock units at no cost to the employee that vest, subject to the relevant performance and service conditions being met, ratably over a three year period. In addition, NXP has granted performance share units that vest based on a combination of a required service period and satisfaction of meeting a market condition. These awards vest over a one-year or three-year period from the date of grant if the market condition has been met at that time. If the market condition has not been met, the awards will lapse and any compensation cost previously recognized will not be reversed. The estimated fair value of equity instruments is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis taking into account estimated forfeitures. For all performance share units, including the awards subject to a market condition, the recognition of cost is based on graded vesting. | |||||||||||||||||
Accounting standards adopted in 2013 | |||||||||||||||||
The following accounting pronouncements became effective in 2013 and were adopted by the Company | |||||||||||||||||
• | ASU No. 2013-02 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” | ||||||||||||||||
On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 which requires entities to disclose the following additional information about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI): | |||||||||||||||||
• | Changes in AOCI balances by component (e.g., unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities or foreign-currency items). Both before-tax and net-of-tax presentations of the information are acceptable as long as an entity presents the income tax benefit or expense attributed to each component of OCI and reclassification adjustments in either the financial statements or the notes to the financial statements. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either on the face of the income statement or as a separate footnote to the financial statements. | ||||||||||||||||
The ASU did not change current U.S. GAAP requirements for condensed financial statement reporting of comprehensive income. However, public entities will need to include information about (1) changes in AOCI balances by component and (2) significant items reclassified out of AOCI in their interim reporting periods. The effective date for NXP was January 1, 2013. The amendments in the ASU should be applied prospectively. The ASU has an impact on the Company’s financial statements because of the additional disclosure requirements. | |||||||||||||||||
New standards to be adopted after 2013 | |||||||||||||||||
• | ASU No. 2013-05 “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” | ||||||||||||||||
On March 4, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) related to an entity’s investment in a foreign entity should be released when there has been a: | |||||||||||||||||
• | Sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity (i.e., the foreign entity is deconsolidated). | ||||||||||||||||
• | Step acquisition for a foreign entity (i.e., when an entity has changed from applying the equity method for an investment in a foreign entity to consolidating the foreign entity). | ||||||||||||||||
The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. The effective date for NXP is January 1, 2014. The ASU should be applied prospectively. The impact on the Company’s financial statements can be significant. | |||||||||||||||||
• | ASU No.2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” | ||||||||||||||||
On July 18, 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit (UTB) when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. | |||||||||||||||||
Under the ASU, an entity must present a UTB, or a portion of a UTB, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset (DTA) for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when: | |||||||||||||||||
• | An NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position. | ||||||||||||||||
• | The entity does not intend to use the DTA for this purpose. | ||||||||||||||||
If either of these conditions exists, an entity should present a UTB in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the UTB with a DTA. New recurring disclosures are not required because the ASU does not affect the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740. | |||||||||||||||||
NXP will apply the ASU prospectively as from January 1, 2014. The ASU will have no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. |

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is primarily included in cost of revenue. Amortization of intangible assets is primarily reported in the selling, general and administrative expenses. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Change in accounting estimate | |||||||||||||||||||||
We currently depreciate the capitalized cost of machinery and equipment used in our front-end and back-end manufacturing facilities. As a result of an extensive review completed in December 2013, we determined that the estimated useful life of the machinery and equipment used in our Standard Products front-end and back-end manufacturing processes has increased to ten years, from the five to seven years previously estimated. We reassessed the estimated useful life of these assets as a result of longer product life cycles, enhancements to manufacturing equipment, the versatility of manufacturing equipment to provide better flexibility to meet changes in customer demand and the ability to re-use equipment over several technology cycles. | |||||||||||||||||||||
We believe that the change in estimated useful life better reflects the future usage of this equipment. The effect of this change in estimated useful life which was adopted on December 31, 2013 will be recognized prospectively as a change in accounting estimate beginning January 1, 2014. The change in estimate is anticipated to cause a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $26 million for the year ending December 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Foreign exchange differences | |||||||||||||||||||||
In 2013, cost of revenue included foreign exchange differences amounting to a loss of less than $1 million (2012: a loss of $4 million; 2011: a gain of $9 million). | |||||||||||||||||||||

The Company has applied net investment hedging since May, 2011. The U.S. dollar exposure of the net investment in U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries of $1.7 billion has been hedged by our U.S. dollar-denominated notes. As a result in 2013 a benefit of $68 million (2012: a benefit of $26 million; 2011: a charge of $203 million) was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) relating to the foreign currency result on the U.S. dollar-denominated notes that are recorded in a euro functional currency entity. | |||||||||||||||||||||

6 Other Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Currency Risk | |
We conduct business in diverse markets around the world and employ a variety of risk management strategies and techniques to manage foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. One way we achieve this is through the active hedging of risks through the selective use of derivative instruments. | |
Derivatives are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value which fluctuates based on changing market conditions. | |
The Company does not purchase or hold financial derivative instruments for trading purposes. | |
Currency risk | |
Currency fluctuations may impact the Company’s financial results. A higher proportion of our revenue is in U.S. dollars or U.S. dollar- related currencies, compared to our costs and expenses resulting in a structural currency mismatch. Accordingly, our results of operations may be affected by changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly between the euro and the U.S. dollar. A strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar during any reporting period will reduce the operating income of the Company. | |
In addition, the U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by our Dutch subsidiary which has a euro functional currency may generate adverse currency results in financial income and expenses depending on the exchange rate movement between the euro and the U.S. dollar. This exposure has been partially mitigated by the application of net investment hedge accounting. In accordance with the provisions in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, the Company has applied net investment hedging since May 2011. The U.S. dollar exposure of our net investment in U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries has been hedged by our U.S. dollar denominated debt for an amount of $1.7 billion. The hedging relationship is assumed to be highly effective. Foreign currency gains or losses on this U.S. dollar debt that is recorded in a euro functional currency entity that are designated as, and to the extent they are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in our U.S. dollar foreign entities, are reported as a translation adjustment in other comprehensive income within equity, and offset in whole or in part the foreign currency changes to the net investment that are also reported in other comprehensive income. As a result, in 2013, a benefit of $68 million (2012: a benefit of $26 million) was recorded in other comprehensive income relating to the foreign currency result on the U.S. dollar-denominated notes that are recorded in a euro functional currency entity. Absent the application of net investment hedging, this amount would have been recorded as a gain within financial income (expense) in the statement of operations. No amount resulting from ineffectiveness of net investment hedge accounting was recognized in the statement of operations in 2013 (2012: no amount). | |
The Company’s transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies. The Company uses financial instruments to reduce its exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations. The Company generally hedges foreign currency exposures in relation to transaction exposures, such as receivables/payables resulting from such transactions and part of anticipated sales and purchases. The Company generally uses forwards to hedge these exposures. | |
It is the Company’s policy that transaction exposures are hedged. Accordingly, the Company’s organizations identify and measure their exposures from transactions denominated in other than their own functional currency. | |
We calculate our net exposure on a cash flow basis considering balance sheet items, actual orders received or made and anticipated revenue and expenses. | |
Interest rate risk | |
The Company has significant outstanding debt, which creates an inherent interest rate risk. Long-term debt was $3,281 million as of December 31, 2013 and $3,185 million as of December 31, 2012. | |
A sensitivity analysis in relation to our long-term debt with floating interest shows that if interest rates were to increase by 1% from the level of December 31, 2013 with all other variables held constant, the annualized interest expense would increase by $3 million. If interest rates were to decrease by 1% from the level of December 31, 2013 with all other variables held constant, the annualized interest expense would decrease by less than $1 million. This impact is based on the outstanding debt position as of December 31, 2013. |

9 Postretirement Benefit Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pensions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our employees participate in employee pension plans in accordance with the legal requirements, customs and the local situation in the respective countries. These are defined-benefit pension plans, defined-contribution plans and multi-employer plans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s employees in The Netherlands participate in a multi-employer plan, implemented for the employees of the Metal and Electrical Engineering Industry (“Bedrijfstakpensioenfonds Metalektro or PME”) in accordance with the mandatory affiliation to PME effective for the industry in which NXP operates. As this affiliation is a legal requirement for the Metal and Electrical Engineering Industry it has no expiration date. This PME multi-employer plan (a career average plan) covers approximately 1,300 companies and 632,000 participants. The plan monitors its risk on an aggregate basis, not by company or participant and can therefore not be accounted for as a defined benefit plan. The pension fund rules state that the only obligation for affiliated companies will be to pay the annual plan contributions. There is no obligation for affiliated companies to fund plan deficits. Affiliated companies are also not entitled to any possible surpluses in the pension fund. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Every participating company contributes the same fixed percentage of its total pension base, being pensionable salary minus an individual offset. The Company’s pension cost for any period is the amount of contributions due for that period. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The coverage ratio of the PME plan was 103.8% as of December 31, 2013. Regulations require PME to have a coverage ratio (ratio of the plan’s assets to its obligations) of 104.3% for the total plan as of December 31, 2013, which needs to be achieved via a Recovery Plan. As the coverage ratio as of December 31, 2013 is below the path indicated in the Recovery Plan, PME has announced a reduction of pension rights of 0.5% as of December 31, 2013 and a reduction of the paid pensions of 0.5% as of April 1, 2014. The contribution rate for the mandatory scheme will increase from 27.0% (2013) to 27.1% (2014) to meet the funding requirements for the accrual of new pension rights. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The amount for pension costs included in the statement of operations for the year 2013 was $86 million (2012: $84 million; 2011: $90 million) of which $20 million (2012: $19 million; 2011: $16 million) represents defined-contribution plans and $45 million (2012: $47 million; 2011: $54 million) represents the PME multi-employer plans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Defined-benefit plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The benefits provided by defined-benefit plans are based on employees’ years of service and compensation levels. Contributions are made by the Company, as necessary, to provide assets sufficient to meet the benefits payable to defined-benefit pension plan participants. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
These contributions are determined based upon various factors, including funded status, legal and tax considerations as well as local customs. The Company funds certain defined-benefit pension plans as claims are incurred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The total cost of defined-benefit plans amounted to $21 million in 2013 (2012: $18 million; 2011: $20 million) consisting of $21 million ongoing cost (2012: $20 million; 2011: $21 million) and nil from special events resulting from restructurings, curtailments and settlements (2012: $2 million; 2011: $1 million). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the projected benefit obligations were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Discount rate | 3.7 | % | 3.5 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||
Rate of compensation increase | 2.3 | % | 2.4 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||
The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the net periodic pension cost were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Discount rate | 3.5 | % | 4.4 | % | 4.3 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Expected returns on plan assets | 4 | % | 4.1 | % | 4.2 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Rate of compensation increase | 2.4 | % | 3.1 | % | 3.1 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
For the Company’s major plans, the discount rate used is based on high quality corporate bonds (iBoxx Corporate Euro AA 10+). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market use a discount rate based on the local sovereign rate and the plans maturity (Bloomberg Government Bond Yields). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Expected returns per asset class are based on the assumption that asset valuations tend to return to their respective long-term equilibria. The Expected Return on Assets for any funded plan equals the average of the expected returns per asset class weighted by their portfolio weights in accordance with the fund’s strategic asset allocation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The components of net periodic pension costs were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Service cost | 12 | 11 | 12 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

A sensitivity analysis shows that if the discount rate increases by 1% from the level of December 31, 2013, with all other variables held constant, the net periodic pension cost would increase by $2 million. If the discount rate decreases by 1% from the level of December 31, 2013, with all other variables held constant, the net periodic pension cost would decrease by $2 million. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The estimated net actuarial loss (gain) and prior service cost that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next year (2014) are $(1) million and nil, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

We met our target plan asset allocation. The investment objectives for the pension plan assets are designed to generate returns that, along with the future contributions, will enable the pension plans to meet their future obligations. The investments in our major defined benefit plans largely consist of government bonds, “Level 2” Corporate Bonds and cash to mitigate the risk of interest fluctuations. The asset mix of equity, bonds, cash and other categories is evaluated by an asset-liability modeling study for our largest plan. The assets of funded plans in other countries mostly have a large proportion of fixed income securities with return characteristics that are aligned with changes in the liabilities caused by discount rate volatility. Total pension plan assets of $170 million include $157 million related to the German, Swiss and Philippine pension funds. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the classification of these assets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company currently expects to make cash contributions of $74 million in 2014, consisting of $4 million of employer contributions to defined-benefit pension plans, $20 million of employer contributions to defined-contribution pension plans, $43 million of employer contributions to multi-employer plans and $7 million of expected cash payments in relation to unfunded pension plans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Property, plant and equipment includes $7 million as of December 31, 2013 (2012: $12 million) for capital leases and other beneficial rights of use, such as building rights and hire purchase agreements. The financial obligations arising from these contractual agreements are reflected in long-term debt. Long-term operating lease commitments totaled $107 million as of December 31, 2013 (2012: $153 million). The long-term operating leases are mainly related to the rental of buildings.

Guarantees | |||||||||
At the end of 2013 there were no material guarantees recognized by the Company. | |||||||||
Purchase Commitments | |||||||||
The Company maintains purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials, semi finished goods and manufacturing services and for some non-production items. Purchase commitments for inventory materials are generally restricted to a forecasted time-horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time-horizon can vary for different suppliers. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had purchase commitments of $166 million, which are due through 2019. | |||||||||
Environmental remediation | |||||||||
In each jurisdiction in which we operate, we are subject to many environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that govern, among other things, emissions of pollutants into the air, wastewater discharges, the use and handling of hazardous substances, waste disposal, the investigation and remediation of soil and ground water contamination and the health and safety of our employees. We are also required to obtain environmental permits from governmental authorities for certain of our operations. | |||||||||
As with other companies engaged in similar activities or that own or operate real property, the Company faces inherent risks of environmental liability at our current and historical manufacturing facilities. Certain environmental laws impose liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances. Certain of these laws also assess liability on persons who arrange for hazardous substances to be sent to disposal or treatment facilities when such facilities are found to be contaminated. | |||||||||
Soil and groundwater contamination has been identified at our properties in Hamburg, Germany and Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The remediation processes have been ongoing for several years and are expected to continue for several years. | |||||||||
Our former property in Lent, the Netherlands, is affected by trichloroethylene contamination. ProRail B.V., owns certain property located nearby and has claimed that we have caused trichloroethylene contamination on their property. We have rejected ProRail’s claims, as we believe that the contamination was caused by a prior owner of our property in Lent. While we are currently not taking any remediation or other actions, we estimate that our aggregate potential liability, if any, in respect of this property will not be material. | |||||||||
Asbestos contamination has been found in certain parts of our properties in Manchester in the United Kingdom and in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Both in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, we will be required to dispose of the asbestos when the buildings currently standing on the property are demolished or divested. We estimate our potential liability will not be material. Additionally, in the Netherlands, we will be required to remediate the asbestos contamination at a leased property, upon termination of the lease. The lease is not expected to end soon and we estimate the cost of remediation will not be material. | |||||||||
Litigation | |||||||||
We are regularly involved as plaintiffs or defendants in claims and litigation relating to matters such as commercial transactions and intellectual property rights. In addition, our divestments sometimes result in, or are followed by, claims or litigation by either party. From time to time, we also are subject to alleged patent infringement claims. We rigorously defend ourselves against these alleged patent infringement claims, and we rarely participate in settlement discussions. Although the ultimate disposition of asserted claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is our belief that the outcome of any such claims, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, such outcomes may be material to our consolidated statement of operations for a particular period. | |||||||||
With the support from its in-house and outside counsel and based on its best estimate, the Company records an accrual for any claim that arises whenever it considers that it is probable that it is exposed to a loss contingency and the amount of the loss contingency can be reasonably estimated. Based on the most current information available to it and based on its best estimate, the Company also reevaluates at least on a quarterly basis the claims that have arisen to determine whether any new accruals need to be made or whether any accruals made need to be adjusted. | |||||||||
Based on the procedures described above, the Company has an aggregate amount of approximately $7 million accrued for legal proceedings pending as of December 31, 2013, compared to approximately $59 million as of December 31, 2012. Such accruals are for the greater part included in “Accrued liabilities”. There can be no assurance that the Company’s accruals will be sufficient to cover the extent of its potential exposure to losses. Historically, legal actions have not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. | |||||||||
Set forth below are descriptions of our most important legal proceedings pending as of December 31, 2013, for which the related loss contingency is either probable or reasonably possible, including the legal proceedings for which accruals have been made: | |||||||||
• | Three former employees of Signetics Corp, a predecessor of NXP Semiconductors USA, Inc. and their respective children each separately filed various counts against NXP Semiconductors USA, Inc. (negligence, premises liability, strict liability, abnormal and ultrahazardous activity, willful and wanton misconduct and loss of consortium) asserting exposure to harmful chemicals and substances while the employees concerned were working in a factory “clean room” of Signetics Corp., resulting in alleged physical injuries and eventual birth defects to their children (cases No. N09C-10-032 JRJ, N10C-05-137 JRJ and 1-10-CV-188679). Initial discovery has commenced by both sides in above mentioned cases. Actual substantive responses are pending. A motion to dismiss has been filed in Case No. N09C-10 032 and Case No. N10C-05-137. The Court delayed her ruling pending the ruling by the Delaware Supreme Court and New Mexico Court of Appeal in similar cases. In Case No. 1-10-CV-188679 the Court denied a motion to dismiss and instructed parties to commence discovery. A trial setting conference is scheduled for May 5, 2014. | ||||||||
• | In 2007, certain former employees of NXP Semiconductors France SAS employed by a subsidiary of the DSP Group, Inc. filed a claim against NXP Semiconductors France SAS before the Tribunal de Grande Instance in an emergency procedure (procédure de référé) to demand re-integration within NXP Semiconductors France SAS, following the closure of the DSP Group’s activities in France and the consequent termination of their employment agreements. The claim was rejected by the Tribunal de Grande Instance. The employees concerned then brought the same claim before the Social Court (Conseil de Prud’hommes) in Caen which, on April 27, 2010, also ruled in favor of NXP Semiconductors France SAS. The claimants filed for an appeal in last resort on May 18, 2010. The Cour d’Appel de Caen assigned the claim in her ruling of October 11, 2013. NXP Semiconductors France SAS has given notice of appeal for the Cour de Cassation. | ||||||||
The estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based on currently available information in relation to the claims that have arisen and on the Company’s best estimate of such losses for those cases for which such estimate can be made. For certain claims, the Company believes that an estimate cannot currently be made. The estimated aggregate range requires significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings (including the fact that many of them are currently in preliminary stages), the existence of multiple defendants (including the Company) in such claims whose share of liability has yet to be determined, the numerous yet-unresolved issues in many of the claims, and the attendant uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such claims. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more than the current estimate. As at December 31, 2013, the Company believes that for all litigation pending its aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued could range between $0 and approximately $24 million. |

Share-based compensation plans for employees were introduced in 2007. Subsequent to becoming a listed company in August 2010, the Company introduced additional share-based compensation plans for eligible employees. The additional plans introduced since November 2010 are referred to as the “Post-IPO Plans” and the plans introduced prior to November 2010 are referred to as the “Pre-IPO Plans”. No awards can be made any longer under the Pre-IPO Plans, and the number of shares authorized and available for awards under Post-IPO Plans as December 31, 2013 was approximately 2.7 million. | |||||||||||||||||

Under the LTIP’s, performance shares, stock options and restricted shares were granted to the members of our board of directors, management team, our other executives, selected other key employees/talents of NXP and selected new hires. The options have a strike price equal to the closing share price on the grant date. The fair value of the options has been calculated using the Black-Scholes formula, using the following assumptions: | |||||||||||||||||
• | an expected life of 6.25 years, calculated in accordance with the guidance provided in SEC Staff bulletin No. 110 for plain vanilla options using the simplified method, since our equity shares have been publicly traded for only a limited period of time and we do not have sufficient historical exercise data; | ||||||||||||||||
• | a risk-free interest rate varying from 1.0% to 1.9% (2012: 0.8% to 1.3%; 2011: 1.2% to 2.8%); | ||||||||||||||||
• | no expected dividend payments; and | ||||||||||||||||
• | a volatility of 45-50% based on the volatility of a set of peer companies. Peer company data has been used given the short period of time our shares have been publicly traded. | ||||||||||||||||
Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. | |||||||||||||||||

14 Restructuring Charges | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The provision for restructuring relates to the estimated costs of initiated restructurings that have been approved by Management. When such plans require discontinuance and/or closure of lines of activities, the anticipated costs of closure or discontinuance are recorded at fair value when the liability has been incurred. The Company determines the fair value based on discounted projected cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. The restructuring liability includes the estimated cost of termination benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement, costs to terminate leases and other contracts, and selling costs associated with assets held for sale and other costs related to the closure of facilities. One-time employee termination benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period when those employees are required to render services to the Company, if that period exceeds 60 days or a longer legal notification period. However, generally, employee termination benefits are covered by a contract or an ongoing benefit arrangement and are recognized when it is probable that the employees will be entitled to the benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. At each reporting date, we evaluate our restructuring liabilities, which consist primarily of termination benefits, to ensure that our accruals are still appropriate. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The restructuring liability balance as of December 31, 2013 primarily relates to: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | The OPEX Reduction Program announced in 2012. This cost savings and restructuring program was initiated to improve operational efficiency and to competitively position the Company for sustainable growth. A liability has been recognized relating to the associated costs. Its implementation is expected to be substantially complete by the first quarter of 2014. The majority of the remaining cash expenditures relating to this initiative are anticipated to be paid by the fourth quarter of 2014. In 2013, as part of the OPEX Reduction Program, we recognized an additional charge of $16 million associated with onerous contracts relating to leased office buildings in the Netherlands and France. The remaining balance as of December 31, 2013 relating to this program amounts to $62 million. The OPEX Reduction Program is expected to be completed by mid 2015; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Workforce reductions associated with the closure of our ICN 4 and ICN 6 wafer fabrication facilities in Nijmegen. ICN 4 and part of ICN 6 were closed in the fourth quarter of 2013. The remaining part of ICN 6 will close in the first quarter of 2014. This program was initiated to reduce our overall manufacturing footprint, consistent with our current manufacturing strategy which focuses on capabilities that differentiate NXP in terms of product features, process capabilities, cost, supply chain and quality. The remaining balance as of December 31, 2013 relating to this program amounts to $43 million. The ICN 4 and ICN 6 program is expected to be completed in September 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are no material new restructuring projects in 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The most significant projects for restructuring in 2012 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
In 2012 we announced a cost savings and restructuring initiative, designed to improve operational efficiency and to competitively position the Company for sustainable growth. We recorded a restructuring charge of $90 million in 2012 associated with this initiative classified within the statement of operations under cost of goods sold of $17 million, mainly relating to the consolidation of MOS technologies from our German fabrication facility in Hamburg to the Company’s 8-inch Dutch facility in Nijmegen, and selling, general and administrative of $52 million and research and development of $21 million, to consolidate resources. This charge primarily related to a worldwide workforce reduction of approximately 650 employees, with the majority of the headcount reductions in Europe and the U.S. The restructuring liabilities of $90 million recognized for this initiative were reflected within current liabilities ($64 million) and non-current liabilities ($26 million) as of December 31, 2012 and primarily related to termination and employee benefit related costs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The most significant projects for restructuring in 2011 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
In 2011 NXP undertook restructuring actions which include: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | the future closure of ICN 4 wafer fabrication facilities in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | actions to lower headcount, primarily in locations within Europe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

In 2013 the Company recorded $27 million of additional restructuring liabilities which largely consisted of $16 million stemming from onerous contracts relating to leased office buildings in the Netherlands and France and $8 million of termination benefits related to additional workforce reductions as part of its closure of ICN 4 and ICN 6. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Releases of restructuring liabilities of $21 million were recorded in 2013. These releases related mainly to liabilities for the closure of ICN 4 and ICN 6 (partly reversed) and liabilities related to other workforce reduction plans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

For the year 2013 the main part of tax incentives adjustment includes a tax benefit resulting from the application of the Dutch “Innovation box” tax rules. The Company benefits from income tax holiday incentives in certain jurisdictions which provide that we pay reduced income taxes in those jurisdictions for a fixed period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction. The income tax holiday of one of our subsidiaries is expected to expire at the end of 2021. The related tax benefit of 6.5% (2012: 89%) is also recorded above within tax incentives. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company has considered all items of income (including items recorded in other comprehensive income) in determining the amount of tax benefit that should be allocated to a loss from continuing operations. As a result, during 2012 we recorded $8 million non-cash tax benefit on a loss from continuing operations arising in one of our jurisdictions for the year ended December 31, 2012 which was exactly offset by $8 million income tax expense in other comprehensive income. Because the income tax expense on other comprehensive income is equal to the income tax benefit from continuing operations, our net deferred tax positions at December 31, 2012 were not impacted by this tax allocation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company has significant deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and deductible temporary differences that may reduce taxable income in future periods. Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets based on a “more likely than not” threshold. The realization of our deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following possible sources of taxable income have been considered when assessing the realization of our deferred tax assets: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Taxable income in prior carryback years; and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Tax-planning strategies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The valuation allowance increased by $18 million during 2013 (2012: $44 million increase). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When the Company’s operating performance improves on a sustained basis, our conclusion regarding the need for such valuation allowance could change. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Subsequently recognized tax benefits related to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013, will be allocated as follows: $599 million of income tax benefit that would be reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, $8 million to additional paid-in capital. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After the recognition of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, a net deferred tax liability remains of $55 million at December 31, 2013 (2012: $54 million). This net deferred tax liability relates to certain taxable temporary differences reversing outside the tax loss carryforward periods, deferred tax liabilities recorded for profitable entities and deferred tax liabilities for withholding taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2013 tax loss carryforwards of $2,608 million will expire as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Deferred tax assets within other non-current assets | 24 | 22 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Deferred tax liabilities within other non-current liabilities | (88 | ) | (84 | ) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(55 | ) | (54 | ) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The net income tax payable (excluding the liability for unrecognized tax benefits) as of December 31, 2013 amounted to $6 million (2012: $26 million payable) and includes amounts directly payable to or receivable from tax authorities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As from 2009 the Company intends to repatriate the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries. Consequently, the Company has recognized a deferred income tax liability of $31 million at December 31, 2013 (2012: $27 million) for the additional withholding taxes payable upon the future remittances of these earnings of foreign subsidiaries. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Balance as of January 1, | 139 | 169 | 195 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Decreases relating to settlements with the tax authorities | — | (23 | ) | (24 | ) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Balance as of December 31, | 143 | 139 | 169 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Of the total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, $17 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. All other unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate as these would be offset by compensating adjustments in the Company’s deferred tax assets that would be subject to valuation allowance based on conditions existing at the reporting date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company classifies interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as financial expense and penalties as income tax expense. The total related interest and penalties recorded during the year 2013 amounted to $1 million (2012: $(5) million; 2011: $3 million). As of December 31, 2013 the Company has recognized a liability for related interest and penalties of $4 million (2012: $3 million; 2011: $8 million). It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits may significantly increase/decrease within the next 12 months of the reporting date due to, for example, completion of tax examinations; however, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible change cannot be made. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions (mainly related to the Netherlands, Germany, USA, China, Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines) are 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. |

In April 2012, the Company acquired Catena, an electronic design and IP company. The purchase price consideration of $20 million, including the issuance of 599,000 treasury shares with a fair value of $14 million was allocated to goodwill of $11 million, other intangible assets with an amortization period of five years of $9 million, assets acquired of $7 million and liabilities assumed of $7 million. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. | |
The results of Catena are consolidated in the Automotive operating segment that is part of the reportable segment HPMS. | |
On July 19, 2012, we sold the High Speed Data Converter business (a product line of the High Performance Mixed Signal segment) to Integrated Device Technology (IDT) for $31 million. The gain on the sale of $19 million is included in other income (expense). | |
On January 4, 2012, Trident Microsystems, Inc., in which we held a 60% shareholding after the sale in 2010 of our digital television and set-top-box business line, filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and was subsequently delisted from the NASDAQ. An initial distribution to shareholders took place on December 21, 2012. In view of the aforementioned distribution, NXP B.V. returned its shares in Trident.

On January 4, 2012, Trident and one of its subsidiaries, Trident Microsystems (Far East) Ltd., filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy code, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and was subsequently delisted from the NASDAQ. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the plan of liquidation and entered an order confirming such plan on December 13, 2012. An initial distribution to shareholders took place on December 21, 2012.

Other results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a gain of $51 million in 2013 and a loss of $34 million in 2012. The gain in 2013 primarily reflects a $46 million release of the contingent liability related to an arbitration commenced by ST. By ruling of April 2, 2013, the ICC arbitration tribunal dismissed all claims made by ST in this arbitration. No appeal is available to ST. Based on this award, the provision amounting to $46 million, established in 2012, was released. In 2012, a loss of $46 million related to extra provisions for the above mentioned legal claim of ST and a gain of $12 million related to a partial recovery of our equity investment in Trident are included. | |||||||||||||||||

19 Segments and Geographical Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
NXP is organized into two reportable segments, High Performance Mixed Signal (“HPMS”) and Standard Products (“SP”). Corporate and Other represents the remaining portion to reconcile to the Consolidated Financial Statements. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
During the first quarter of 2013, we moved our General Purpose Logic Product Line from our HPMS segment (Portable & Computing) to our SP segment; and our NXP software product line to our HPMS Segment (Industrial & Infrastructure) from Corporate and Other to better reflect underlying market dynamics, product complexity and the management of the business. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2013 we determined that a change to our reportable segments was warranted due to the significant decline in external revenues and costs reported by Manufacturing Operations (“MO”). These external results were, to a large extent, derived from revenue of wafer foundry and packaging services to our divested businesses in order to support their separation and, on a limited basis, their ongoing operations. They also reflect the ongoing results from the sale of wafers to our SSMC joint venture partner, TSMC. MO’s results are also not regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM to assess operating performance and allocate resources as its primary function is to manage the Company’s internal manufacturing and supply chain activities and substantially all of its results are reflected within the operating segments utilizing its services. As a result, since Manufacturing Operations no longer meets the criteria for an operating segment, its results will be reflected within Corporate and Other effective the fourth quarter of 2013. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our Chief Executive Officer, who is our CODM, regularly reviews financial information at the reporting segment level in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Asset information by segment is not provided to our CODM as the majority of our assets are used jointly or managed at corporate level. Arithmetical allocation of these assets to the various businesses is not deemed to be meaningful and as such total assets per segment has been omitted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our HPMS business segment delivers high performance mixed signal solutions to our customers to satisfy their system and sub-systems needs across eight application areas: automotive, identification, mobile, consumer, computing, wireless infrastructure, lighting and industrial, and software solutions for mobile phones. Our SP business segment offers standard products for use across many application markets, as well as application-specific standard products predominantly used in application areas such as mobile handsets, computing, consumer and automotive. The segments each include revenue from the sale and licensing of intellectual property related to that segment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Corporate and Other includes unallocated expenses not related to any specific business segment and corporate restructuring charges. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Because the Company meets the criteria for aggregation set forth under ASC 280 “Segment Reporting”, and the operating segments have similar economic characteristics, the Company aggregates the results of operations of the Automotive, Identification, Infrastructure & Industrial and Portable & Computing operating segments into one reportable segment, HPMS, and the Standard Products and General Purpose Logic operating segments into another reportable segment, SP. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from our top OEM customers, some of whom are supplied through distributors, in the automotive, identification, wireless infrastructure, lighting, industrial, mobile, consumer and computing markets. No end customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company‘s revenues for the years presented. However, sales to one of our distributors, WPG, in 2013, 2012 and 2011 represented 11%, 12% and 12%, respectively, of revenue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Furthermore, the Company is using outside suppliers or foundries for a portion of its manufacturing capacity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
We have operations in Europe and Asia subject to collective bargaining agreements which could pose a risk to the Company in the near term but we do not expect that our operations will be disrupted if such is the case. |

Expansion stock repurchase program | |
On February 6, 2014, the Company announced that, effective the same date, NXP expanded its existing stock repurchase program. Under the expanded stock repurchase program, NXP may repurchase shares to cover in part employee stock options and equity rights under its long term incentive plans. The new repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors enables NXP to repurchase up to twenty-five (25) million shares of its common stock from time to time in both privately negotiated and open market transactions, subject to management’s evaluation of market conditions, terms of private transactions, the best interests of NXP shareholders, applicable legal requirements and other factors. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the stock repurchase program, and NXP may terminate the repurchase program at any time. | |
On February 19, 2014, the Company announced that it has repurchased 5 million shares of its common stock from affiliates and from funds managed or advised by KKR in a private transaction. A $300 million draw-down under the Company’s existing Revolving Credit Facility was partly used to settle this repurchase of shares. Under the same stock repurchase plan, since it was announced on February 6, 2014, NXP previously already purchased approximately 2.9 million shares of common stock in various privately negotiated and open market transactions. As a result, NXP repurchased in total approximately 7.9 million shares in NXP under its expanded stock repurchase program up to and including February 21, 2014. The repurchased shares will be used to cover in part employee stock options and equity rights under NXP’s long term incentive plans. The repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and will be accounted for as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. | |
Senior Secured Term Loan | |
On February 14, 2014, our subsidiary, NXP B.V. together with NXP Funding LLC entered into a new $400 million aggregate principal amount Senior Secured Term Loan Facility due March 4, 2017. Concurrently, NXP called the $486 million principal amount Senior Secured Term Loan Facility due March 4, 2017. A $100 million draw-down under our existing Revolving Credit Facility was used to settle the combined transactions, as well as pay the related call premium of $5 million and accrued interest of $4 million. Approximately $5 million will be used for general corporate purposes. The exchange of the called Term Loan for the new Term Loan was a non-cash financing transaction. |

Principles for consolidated financial statements | |||||||||||||||||
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including NXP B.V. and all entities in which the Company holds a direct or indirect controlling interest, in such a way that the Company would have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be potentially significant to the Company. Investments in companies in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The Company’s share of the net income of these companies is included in results relating to equity-accounted investees in the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net income (loss) includes the portion of the earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. The income (loss) and equity attributable to non-controlling interests are disclosed separately in the consolidated statements of operations and in the consolidated balance sheets under non-controlling interests. | |||||||||||||||||
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree are recognized as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. | |||||||||||||||||
For acquisitions on or after January 1, 2010, the Company measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: | |||||||||||||||||
• | The fair value of the consideration transferred; plus | ||||||||||||||||
• | The recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less | ||||||||||||||||
• | The net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed | ||||||||||||||||
Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. | |||||||||||||||||
Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Fair value measurements | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Fair value measurements | |||||||||||||||||
Fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for an identical asset or liability, we develop assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, utilize internal information that we consider to be consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Priority is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs form the basis for the following fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and valuations based on models where the inputs are observable or where the significant value drivers are observable. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. | ||||||||||||||||

In the case of loss of control of a subsidiary any dilution gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the line item other income and expense. Dilution gains and losses related to equity-accounted investees are presented in the line item results relating to equity-accounted investees. | |||||||||||||||||

Foreign currencies | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Holding company is the euro. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of the entities within the Company with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates on the applicable balance sheet dates. Income and expense items in the statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows are translated at monthly exchange rates in the periods involved. | |||||||||||||||||
The effects of translating the financial position and results of operations from functional currencies to reporting currency are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholder’s equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is recorded under non-controlling interests. When the Company’s ownership in a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the related cumulative translation adjustments are recognized as income or expense as part of the gain or loss on the disposal. However, when the Company disposes only a part of its ownership interest in a foreign subsidiary while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative translation adjustments is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in a foreign equity-accounted investee, while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative translation adjustments is recognized as income or expense as part of the gain or loss on the disposal. However, translation results from the Company’s functional currency (euro) into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. dollar) will not be recycled to the statement of operations as long as there is the assumption that the proceeds from the sale will be reinvested. | |||||||||||||||||

The functional currency of foreign entities is generally the local currency, unless the primary economic environment requires the use of another currency. When foreign entities conduct their business in economies considered to be highly inflationary, they record transactions in the Company’s reporting currency instead of their local currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of operations, except when the foreign exchange exposure is part of a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge accounting relationship, in which case the related foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective and presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in the statement of operations. Currency gains and losses on intercompany loans that have the nature of a permanent investment are recognized as translation differences in other comprehensive income and are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity. | |||||||||||||||||

Derivative financial instruments including hedge accounting | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the management of its foreign currency risks and the input costs of gold for a portion of our anticipated purchases within the next 12 months. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company measures all derivative financial instruments based on fair values derived from market prices of the instruments or from option pricing models, as appropriate, and records these as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. Changes in the fair values are immediately recognized in the statement of operations unless cash flow hedge accounting is applied. | |||||||||||||||||
Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. The application of cash flow hedge accounting for foreign currency risks is limited to transactions that represent a substantial currency risk that could materially affect the financial position of the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign currency gains or losses arising from the translation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, to the extent that the hedge is effective, and are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders equity. | |||||||||||||||||
To the extent that a hedge is ineffective, the ineffective portion of the fair value change is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. When the hedged net investment is disposed of, the corresponding amount in the accumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to the statement of operations as part of the profit or loss on disposal. | |||||||||||||||||
On initial designation of the hedge relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, the Company documents this relationship, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125 percent. | |||||||||||||||||
When cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued because it is not probable that a forecasted transaction will occur within a period of two months from the originally forecasted transaction date, the Company continues to carry the derivative on the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings. In situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in earnings. | |||||||||||||||||

Receivables | |||||||||||||||||
Receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and net of rebates and other contingent discounts granted to distributors. When circumstances indicate a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligation to us is impaired, we record an allowance against amounts due and value the receivable at the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, we evaluate our trade accounts receivable for collectability based on numerous factors including objective evidence about credit-risk concentration, collective debt risk based on average historical losses, and specific circumstances such as serious adverse economic conditions in a specific country or region. | |||||||||||||||||
Inventories | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, less advance payments on work in progress. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An allowance is made for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This allowance is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand and market conditions. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense and waste are not capitalized in inventory. The allocation of fixed production overheads to the inventory cost is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. | |||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment | |||||||||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected economic life of the asset. Depreciation of special tooling is also based on the straight-line method unless a depreciation method other than the straight-line method better represents the consumption pattern. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in other income and expense. Plant and equipment under capital leases are initially recorded at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of minimum lease payments. These assets and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. | |||||||||||||||||
Goodwill | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Goodwill | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. Accordingly, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. | |||||||||||||||||
An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the asset’s implied fair value. This determination is made at the business operating segment level, which is for the Company the reporting unit level in accordance with ASC 350. The Company may use the option to assess first qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. The Company then determines the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the goodwill and intangible assets, to the reporting units. Furthermore, the Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit and compares it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company performs the second step of the impairment test. In the second step, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to acquisition accounting in a business combination. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of the reporting units based on discounted projected cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. | |||||||||||||||||
The determination of the fair value of the reporting unit requires us to make significant judgments and estimates including projections of future cash flows from the business. These estimates and required assumptions include estimated revenue and revenue growth rates, operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, estimated future capital expenditures, future economic and market conditions, determination of market comparables and the estimated weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). | |||||||||||||||||
We base our estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but any such estimates are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from these estimates. In addition, we make judgments and assumptions in allocating assets and liabilities to each of our reporting segments. | |||||||||||||||||
Identified Intangible assets | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Identified Intangible assets | |||||||||||||||||
Identified Intangible assets with definitive lives arising from acquisitions are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Remaining useful lives are evaluated every year to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. The Company considers renewal and extension options in determining the useful life. However, based on experience the Company concluded that these assets have no extension or renewal possibilities. In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) projects acquired as part of a business combination with no alternative use are capitalized and indefinitely lived until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. Upon completion of each project, IPR&D assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. During development, IPR&D assets are not amortized but tested annually for impairment. There are currently no intangible assets with indefinite lives. Patents, trademarks and other intangible assets acquired from third parties are capitalized at cost and amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives. | |||||||||||||||||
Certain costs relating to the development and purchase of software for internal use are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the estimated useful life of the software in conformity with ASC 350. | |||||||||||||||||
Impairment or disposal of identified intangible assets and tangible fixed assets | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Impairment or disposal of identified intangible assets and tangible fixed assets | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for intangible assets other than goodwill and tangible fixed assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. Long-lived assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset with future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company determines the fair value based on discounted projected cash flows. The review for impairment is carried out at the level where discrete cash flows occur that are largely independent of other cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. Management must make significant judgments and apply a number of assumptions in estimating the future cash flows. The estimated cash flows are determined based on, among other things, our strategic plans, long-range forecasts, estimated growth rates and assumed profit margins. The evaluation of identified intangible assets and tangible fixed assets for impairment is carried out at a Corporate level as the majority of our assets are used jointly or managed at Corporate level. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. | |||||||||||||||||
Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups | |||||||||||||||||
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale must be highly probable. | |||||||||||||||||
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. The Company determines the fair value based on discounted projected cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. Depreciation or amortization of an asset ceases when it is classified as held for sale, or included within a disposal group that is classified as held for sale. | |||||||||||||||||

Discontinued operations | |||||||||||||||||
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that either has been disposed of, or that is classified as held for sale, and: (i) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company in terms of operations and cash flows or (ii) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. Generally, a major line of business is a segment or business unit. Discontinued operations are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company determines the fair value based on discounted projected cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. Results from discontinued operations until the date of disposal are presented separately as a single amount in the consolidated statements of operations together with any gain or loss from disposal. Results from discontinued operations are reclassified for all periods presented and reflected as income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, within the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||

Basic earnings per share attributable to stockholders is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. | |||||||||||||||||
Diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders is determined using the weighted-average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising share-based awards, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of excess tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue recognition | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Revenue recognition | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from made-to-order sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and similar customers. The Company’s revenue is also derived from sales to distributors. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company applies the guidance in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 13 ‘Revenue Recognition’ and recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or the service has been provided, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured, based on the terms and conditions of the sales contract. For made-to-order sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped and delivered to the customer and title and risk have passed to the customer. Acceptance of the product by the customer is generally not contractually required, since, for made-to-order customers, design approval occurs before manufacturing and subsequently delivery follows without further acceptance protocols. Payment terms used are those that are customary in the particular geographic market. When management has established that all aforementioned conditions for revenue recognition have been met and no further post-shipment obligations exist, revenue is recognized. | |||||||||||||||||
For sales to distributors, revenue is recognized upon sale to the distributor (sell-in accounting). The same recognition principles apply and similar terms and conditions as for sales to other customers are applied. However, for some distributors contractual arrangements are in place, which allow these distributors to return products if certain conditions are met. These conditions generally relate to the time period during which return is allowed and reflect customary conditions in the particular geographic market. Other return conditions relate to circumstances arising at the end of a product life cycle, when certain distributors are permitted to return products purchased during a pre-defined period after the Company has announced a product’s pending discontinuance. However, long notice periods associated with these announcements prevent significant amounts of product from being returned. Repurchase agreements with OEMs or distributors are not entered into by the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
For sales where return rights exist, the Company has determined, based on historical data, that only a very small percentage of the sales to this type of distributor is actually returned. In accordance with these historical data, a pro rata portion of the sales to these distributors is not recognized but deferred until the return period has lapsed or the other return conditions no longer apply. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue is recorded net of sales taxes, customer discounts, rebates and other contingent discounts granted to distributors. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue. Expenses incurred for shipping and handling costs of internal movements of goods are recorded as cost of revenue. Shipping and handling costs related to revenue to third parties are reported as selling expenses within selling, general and administrative. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenues from the sale or licensing of the Company’s intellectual property are recognized when the significant contractual obligations have been fulfilled and the fundamental revenue recognition criteria of SAB Topic 13 are met. Royalty income is recognized upon the sale of products subject to royalties and is recognized based upon reports received from licensees during the period, unless collectability is not reasonably assured, in which case revenue is recognized when payment is received from the licensee. Government grants, other than those relating to purchases of assets, are recognized as income as qualified expenditures are made. Software revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985 “Software Revenue Recognition” when the 4 criteria of SAB Topic 13 are met. | |||||||||||||||||
Financial income and expense | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Financial income and expense | |||||||||||||||||
Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested and the net gain on the disposal of other financial assets. | |||||||||||||||||
Financial expense comprises interest expense on borrowings, accretion of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, losses on disposal of financial assets, impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables) and losses on hedging instruments recognized in the statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statement of operations using the effective interest method. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign currency gains and losses, not related to accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany current accounts, are reported on a net basis as either financial income or financial expense in the statement of operations depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. Foreign currency gains and losses on accounts receivable, accounts payable and intercompany current accounts that are not hedged in a net investment hedge are reported under cost of revenue in the statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Income taxes | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Income taxes | |||||||||||||||||
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. | |||||||||||||||||
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based upon the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the change. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax liabilities for withholding taxes on dividends from subsidiaries are recognized in situations where the company does not consider the earnings permanently reinvested and to the extent that these withholding taxes are not expected to be refundable. | |||||||||||||||||
Deferred tax assets, including assets arising from loss carryforwards, are recognized, net of a valuation allowance, if it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. The Company has significant deferred tax assets primarily related to net operating losses in the Netherlands, France, Germany, the USA and other countries. The realization of deferred tax assets is not assured and is dependent on the generation of sufficient taxable income in the future. We have exercised judgment in determining whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of these net operating losses and other deductible temporary differences, based upon estimates of future taxable income in the various jurisdictions and any feasible tax planning strategies. | |||||||||||||||||
The income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The income tax benefit recognized in the financial statements from such position is measured based on the largest benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits and the related interest and penalties is recorded under accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet based on the timing of the expected payment. Penalties are recorded as income tax expense, whereas interest is reported as financial expense in the statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Postretirement benefits | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Postretirement benefits | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for the cost of pension plans and postretirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with ASC 715 “Compensation-Retirement Benefits”. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s employees participate in pension and other postretirement benefit plans in many countries. The costs of pension and other postretirement benefits and related assets and liabilities with respect to the Company’s employees participating in defined-benefit plans are based upon actuarial valuations. Some of the Company’s defined-benefit pension plans are funded with plan assets that have been segregated and restricted in a trust, foundation or insurance company to provide for the pension benefits to which the Company has committed itself. | |||||||||||||||||
The net pension liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the projected defined-benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets at the balance sheet date. | |||||||||||||||||
Most of the Company’s plans are unfunded and result in a pension provision or a net pension liability. | |||||||||||||||||
The projected defined-benefit obligation is calculated annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. For the Company’s major plans, the discount rate is derived from market yields on high quality corporate bonds. Plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market use a discount rate based on the local government bond rates. | |||||||||||||||||
Pension costs in respect of defined-benefit pension plans primarily represent the increase in the actuarial present value of the obligation for pension benefits based on employee service during the year and the interest on this obligation in respect of employee service in previous years, net of the expected return on plan assets and net of employee contributions. | |||||||||||||||||
Actuarial gains and losses arise mainly from changes in actuarial assumptions and differences between actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred. They are recognized in the statement of operations, over the expected average remaining service periods of the employees only to the extent that their net cumulative amount exceeds 10% of the greater of the present value of the obligation or of the fair value of plan assets at the end of the previous year (the corridor). Events which invoke a curtailment or a settlement of a benefit plan will be recognized in our statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
In calculating obligation and expense, the Company is required to select actuarial assumptions. These assumptions include discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and rates of increase in compensation costs determined based on current market conditions, historical information and consultation with and input from our actuaries. Changes in the key assumptions can have a significant impact to the projected benefit obligations, funding requirements and periodic pension cost incurred. A sensitivity analysis is provided in Note 9, “Postretirement Benefit Plans”. | |||||||||||||||||
Unrecognized prior-service costs related to pension plans and postretirement benefits other than pensions are amortized to the statements of operations over the average remaining service period of the active employees. | |||||||||||||||||
Contributions to defined-contribution and multi-employer pension plans are recognized as an expense in the statements of operations as incurred. | |||||||||||||||||
In accordance with the requirements of ASC 715, if the projected benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets, we recognize in the consolidated balance sheet a liability that equals the excess. If the fair value of plan assets exceeds the projected benefit obligation, we recognize in the balance sheet an asset that equals the excess. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company determines the fair value of plan assets based on quoted prices or comparable prices for non-quoted assets. For a defined-benefit pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation; for any other postretirement defined benefit plan it is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes as a component of other comprehensive income, net of taxes, the gains or losses and prior service costs that arise during the year but are not recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to ASC 715. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, including the gains or losses and the prior services costs are adjusted as they are subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs pursuant to the recognition provisions of ASC 715. | |||||||||||||||||
For all of the Company’s defined pension benefit plans, the measurement date is year-end. | |||||||||||||||||
Share-based compensation | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Share-based compensation | |||||||||||||||||
NXP has share-based payment plans under which its employees receive options and other share-based awards. The plans provide for the granting of stock options, performance share units, restricted stock units and equity rights. All plans are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 “Compensation, Stock Compensation” at the estimated fair value of the equity instruments measured at the grant date. For grants issued up to August 2010, the Company used a binomial option-pricing model to determine the estimated fair value for options and determined the fair value of equity rights on the basis of the estimated fair value of the Company, using a discounted cash flow technique. For option grants issued since August 2010, the Company uses the Black-Scholes method and determined the fair value of equity awards with a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. NXP stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to 100% of the market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, generally have ten-year contractual terms, and vest ratably over four years from date of grant. NXP has also granted performance share units and restricted stock units at no cost to the employee that vest, subject to the relevant performance and service conditions being met, ratably over a three year period. In addition, NXP has granted performance share units that vest based on a combination of a required service period and satisfaction of meeting a market condition. These awards vest over a one-year or three-year period from the date of grant if the market condition has been met at that time. If the market condition has not been met, the awards will lapse and any compensation cost previously recognized will not be reversed. The estimated fair value of equity instruments is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis taking into account estimated forfeitures. For all performance share units, including the awards subject to a market condition, the recognition of cost is based on graded vesting. | |||||||||||||||||

• | ASU No.2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” | ||||||||||||||||
On July 18, 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit (UTB) when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. | |||||||||||||||||
Under the ASU, an entity must present a UTB, or a portion of a UTB, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset (DTA) for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward except when: | |||||||||||||||||
• | An NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position. | ||||||||||||||||
• | The entity does not intend to use the DTA for this purpose. | ||||||||||||||||
If either of these conditions exists, an entity should present a UTB in the financial statements as a liability and should not net the UTB with a DTA. New recurring disclosures are not required because the ASU does not affect the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740. | |||||||||||||||||
NXP will apply the ASU prospectively as from January 1, 2014. The ASU will have no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
