Indie Semiconductor Inc (INDI) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript
ON Semiconductor reported full‑year 2025 revenue of $6 billion and a non‑GAAP gross margin of 38.4%, meeting the midpoint of its guidance despite a soft demand environment. Free cash flow reached $1.4 billion, a 17% year‑over‑year rise, and the company returned the entire amount to shareholders through $1.4 billion of share repurchases, while announcing a new $6 billion buyback program. Growth was driven by AI data‑center sales exceeding $250 million and modest sequential gains in automotive and industrial segments. The FabRite manufacturing rationalization reduced fab capacity by 12% and eliminated roughly 700 basis points of underutilization charges, setting the stage for margin expansion in 2026.
