These statements relate to our business strategy, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect our results of operations and whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results and trends in the future may differ materially from those suggested or implied by the forward-looking statements depending on a variety of factors.

Note 1

Effective January 1, 2011, in order to more accurately reflect the expected useful lives of certain property, plant and equipment assets, we extended the estimated useful lives of certain of our probe, assembly and test equipment. As a result, depreciation expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and in association with cost of sales was reduced by $12 million and $15 million during the three month periods ended December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011.

Adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating earnings (loss) represent gross margin and operating earnings (loss) adjusted for the following as necessary: incremental depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment fair value step-up and associated with reduction in lives of certain manufacturing assets, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and reorganization of businesses and other charges. Adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating earnings (loss) are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating earnings (loss) do not represent gross margin and operating earnings (loss), as those terms are defined under U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to gross margin or operating earnings (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. We have included information concerning adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating earnings (loss) because we use such information when evaluating gross margin and operating earnings (loss) to better evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating earnings (loss) as presented herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. A reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin and adjusted operating earnings (loss) to operating earnings (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, has been included in the preceding tables.

Adjusted net earnings (loss) is net earnings (loss), adjusted for certain items that we believe are not indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. We present adjusted net earnings (loss) as a supplemental performance measure. We believe adjusted net earnings (loss) is helpful to an understanding of our business and provides a means of evaluating our performance from period to period on a more consistent basis. This presentation should not be construed as an indication that similar items will not recur or that our future results will be unaffected by other items that we consider to be outside the ordinary course of our business. Because adjusted net earnings (loss) facilitates internal comparisons of our historical financial position and operating performance on a more consistent basis, we also use adjusted net earnings (loss) for business planning purposes, in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors and in evaluating the effectiveness of our operational strategies. Adjusted net earnings (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using adjusted net earnings (loss) only supplementally. A reconciliation of adjusted net earnings (loss) to net earnings (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, has been included in the preceding tables.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) excluding the effects of other items is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. We have included information concerning EBITDA excluding the effects of other items because we use such information to supplementally evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. EBITDA excluding the effects of other items does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net earnings (loss), operating earnings (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by U.S. GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While EBITDA excluding the effects of other items and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our use of this financial measure is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA as shown in the preceding tables is calculated in accordance with the indentures governing Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.’s existing notes and senior credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is net earnings (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash and other items that are included in net earnings (loss). Our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is tied to ratios under the indentures and the senior credit facilities based on Adjusted EBITDA calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. Accordingly, we believe it is useful to provide the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to investors for purposes of determining our ability to engage in these activities. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net earnings (loss), operating earnings (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by U.S. GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Although Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in the indentures and the senior credit facilities allows us to add back certain charges that are deducted in calculating net earnings (loss). However, some of these expenses may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. Further, our debt instruments require that Adjusted EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. We do not report Adjusted EBITDA on a quarterly basis. In addition, the measure can be disproportionately affected by quarterly fluctuations in our operating results, and it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent quarter, four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year. A reconciliation of net earnings (loss), which is a U.S. GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated as described above, has been included in the preceding tables.
