According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei) reported that Japan’s Renesas Electronics semiconductor plant (Renesas Electronics) is working with the U.S. analog power management IC industry Intersil (Intersil) final acquisition agreement.
It is reported that Renesas acquisition amounting to about 3,000 billion yen (about 30 billion US dollars), with the latest on the 19th NASDAQ stock show, Intersil worth over $ 2.1 billion calculation, the extra premium of 38% of the acquisition will be acquired, fastest It is expected to reach an agreement before the end of August.
Renesas merger Intersil menace
Nikkei pointed out that the annual market size of over 30 trillion yen in the global semiconductor market, because the smart phone demand slowdown, the relevant industry to seek a breakthrough, the research focus shifted to autopilot about 3 trillion yen per year scale, electronic engines and other automotive semiconductors market.
Renesas semiconductor technology itself can have a province in the field of automotive, automotive microcontrollers market share is highest in the world. But with electric vehicles, automatic drive research and development trend is a growing trend, with a car equipped with a gradual decline in demand for microcontrollers, coupled autopilot proud art sensors are not required for communication Renesas, so from a year ago from Renesas that is looking to acquire overseas companies and strengthen the relevant art production line.
Therefore, Renesas merger Intersil’s purposes, that is for automotive semiconductor market. Intersil power management semiconductor industry not only has a high market share, operating profit margin of about 20 to 29%, and Intersil in the automotive and industrial machinery, smart phones and other communications also hold the key semiconductor technology, ensure that the electronic circuit is maintained at a certain voltage, low power consumption and support functions.
Another advantage is that Intersil, whether small smart phone, large voltage industrial infrastructure industrial control requirements, Intersil Jieyou corresponding product. The future will be expanded to electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles with power semiconductors.
In addition, Intersil customers throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and emerging markets, Renesas is expected amplified by the acquisition vehicle by the semiconductor production line as well as overseas markets.
Renesas depending acquisition Intersil as a new growth engine
Currently in the car with the semiconductor industry, with revenue calculations, the world’s largest 2015 acquisition of Freescale (Freescale) Dutch automotive chip maker NXP (NXP), followed by the British-2014 acquisition of International Rectifier Ling (Infineon), Renesas have in recent years due to the abolition of the cause of loss, turnover decreased by 40% in five years, which ranks third down. However, Renesas is expected after the completion of the acquisition sum, beyond Infineon consolidated revenue, ranking second in the world.
Renesas to complete the acquisition sum, shareholders will acquire all shares. The acquisition of funds for the existing Renesas 400 billion yen in cash, and the other to consider a bank loan. Renesas sum acquisitions is pushing for several years in layoffs, and after the entire utilities and other structural reforms, and it will be regarded as the cause of open by the merger will strengthen the existing areas of strength, an important engine for the development of the new page.
In particular, since the field of semiconductors for automotive technical standards and safety requirements are very strict, is not conducive to the development of the new Societe Generale, Renesas that the current in automotive semiconductor market still retain a high degree of competitive advantage.
Founded in 2010, Renesas, since 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake find themselves in crisis, told Japanese officials and the public fund industry innovation institutions and Toyota Motor (Toyota Motors) and other funding until the 2014 fiscal year (2013/4 ~ 2014/4 ) is still the main structural reforms, finally waxing.
Since June the new president took office this time around Wu Jing in an interview with Japanese media said the response to the autopilot, electric cars have become popular in the field, Renesas Electronics will run in turn defense into offense, particularly as automotive semiconductors cutting-edge areas like research and development requires huge expenses, no longer to hold down operating costs for the center of gravity.
