The company's total gross margin in the second quarter was 38.3 percent, an increase of approximately 180 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2007, primarily due to the sale of obsolete leaded parts which helped margins by approximately 100 basis points and improved product mix.

"The second quarter of 2007 marks the tenth consecutive quarter of profitability for ON Semiconductor," said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor President and CEO. "As our ongoing cash generating capabilities have improved over the last few years, we continue pursuing shareholder friendly actions. In the second quarter of 2007, we used cash on hand to repurchase approximately $55 million of our common stock. On the business front, we continue to be positive about our prospects for the second half of 2007. Our beginning product backlog for the third quarter is up sequentially by over 10 percent driven by new product wins and product ramps in the Computing, Consumer Electronics and Wireless end-markets. These three end-markets also typically have stronger seasonal demand in the second half of the year driven by 'back-to-school' and holiday platform builds."
