PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2002

ON Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:ONNN) today announced that total revenues in the second quarter of 2002 were $278 million, a sequential increase of $9 million from the first quarter of 2002.

The company had a pro forma As a matter of form or for the sake of form. Used to describe accounting, financial, and other statements or conclusions based upon assumed or anticipated facts.

The phrase pro forma
 net loss of $22 million, or $0.14 per share, as compared to a pro forma net loss of $0.26 per share in the first quarter of 2002. The second quarter pro forma results exclude restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics).  and other charges of $3 million and an extraordinary loss on debt prepayment Prepayment

Including these items, the company reported a net loss of $32 million, or $0.19 per share, in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to a net loss of $50 million, or $0.30 per share, in the first quarter of 2002.

Gross margin improved 580 basis points from the first quarter to 27.4 percent in the second quarter as the company realized further gains primarily from its cost restructuring and increased factory utilization. As of the end of the second quarter of 2002, the company completed actions to achieve an estimated $340 million of annual savings as compared to the first quarter of 2001.

These savings, along with continued working capital improvement, led to positive cash flow a full quarter ahead of expectations. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $168 million in the second quarter of 2002, up $20 million from the prior quarter.

On a sequential basis, the company's 13-week backlog Backlog
