ON Semiconductor Reports 12% Revenue Decline and 36.5% Drop in Net Income for Q3 2025

ON Semiconductor Corporation reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, revealing a significant decline in both revenue and profitability compared to the same period last year. The company generated revenue of $1,550.9 million, a decrease of approximately 12% from $1,761.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. Net income for the quarter was $255.0 million, down from $401.7 million in the prior year, reflecting a decline of 36.5%. The earnings per share for the quarter were $0.63, compared to $0.94 in the same quarter last year.

The financial performance for the nine months ending October 3, 2025, also showed a downward trend, with total revenue of $4,465.3 million, down 17% from $5,359.8 million in the same period of 2024. The company reported a net loss of $60.8 million for the nine months, a stark contrast to the net income of $1,192.9 million recorded in the previous year. This decline was attributed to lower demand in key markets, particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors, as well as significant restructuring and impairment charges totaling $608.1 million for the nine-month period.

Strategically, ON Semiconductor has been active in restructuring its operations to align with long-term growth expectations. The company initiated a Manufacturing Realignment Program, which included the termination of approximately 2,400 employees and resulted in substantial non-cash impairment charges related to manufacturing equipment. Additionally, ON Semiconductor completed the acquisition of the SiC JFET technology business from Qorvo US, Inc. for $118.8 million, enhancing its power solutions portfolio. The company also announced a new acquisition of Vcore power technologies from Aura Semiconductor, with a total purchase consideration of up to $144 million.

Operationally, ON Semiconductor's customer base remains concentrated, with one distributor accounting for approximately 12% of total revenue for both the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2025. The company reported a decrease in gross profit margins across its segments, with the Power Solutions Group (PSG) experiencing a gross margin decline from 41.6% to 28.5%. The Analog and Mixed-Signal Group (AMG) and Intelligent Sensing Group (ISG) also reported declines in gross profit margins, reflecting the impact of reduced sales volumes and unfavorable product mix.

Looking ahead, ON Semiconductor anticipates continued challenges due to geopolitical and macroeconomic factors affecting demand in its primary markets. The company aims to optimize its manufacturing footprint and maintain operational efficiencies while focusing on high-growth megatrends in automotive and industrial infrastructure. The outlook remains cautious, with management emphasizing the need to adapt to changing market conditions and customer demands.
