The acquisition deal is expected to result in incremental revenue growth of approximately $200 million
Renesas Electronics Corporation, a supplier of semiconductor solutions, and Dialog Semiconductor Plc, a provider of power management, charging, AC/DC power conversion, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology, have announced they have reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended all-cash acquisition by Renesas of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Dialog for EUR 67.50 per share, representing a total equity value of approximately EUR 4.9 billion (approximately 615.7 billion yen).
“The transaction we announced today represents our next important step in catapulting Renesas’ growth plan to achieve substantial strategic and financial benefits, following our previous acquisitions,” said Hidetoshi Shibata, President and CEO of Renesas.
Shibata added, “Dialog has a strong culture of innovation along with excellent customer relationships and serves fast growing areas including IoT, industrial and automotive. By bringing Dialog’s talented team and expertise into Renesas, together, we will accelerate innovation for customers and create sustainable value for our shareholders.”
The acquistion deal is expected to result in incremental revenue growth of approximately $200 million (non-GAAP operating income, approximately 21.0 billion yen) from cross selling and access to fast-growing industries alongside continued innovation of solution offerings; expects cost savings from operational efficiencies to result in a financial impact of approximately 125 million USD (non-GAAP operating income per year on a run rate basis, approximately 13.1 billion yen).
Under the terms of the agreement, Renesas will pay EUR 4.9 billion in cash for all the issued and to be issued share capital of Dialog at a price per share of EUR 67.50. The offer price corresponds to a 20.3 percent premium to Dialog’s closing price of EUR 56.12 on February 5, 2021, being the last business day before the date of this announcement. Renesas plans to finance the transaction with bank loans of approximately 735.4 billion yen (Note).
“For several years, we have successfully executed on a diversification strategy that positions Dialog for high-growth. We have built a strong foundation of high-performance analog and power efficient mixed-signal expertise, extended our product portfolio and applied our technologies into markets including 5G, wearables, automotive, smart home, connected medical and industrial IoT,” said Dr Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog.
Bagherli added, “This compelling platform – combined with Renesas’ leading embedded compute, analog and power portfolio – creates even greater growth opportunities in today’s increasingly connected world. The Dialog team is excited to join forces with Renesas. The combined company will be in an even stronger position to provide innovative products for these markets, building on Renesas’ extensive sales, distribution and customer support capabilities.”
