Semiconductor giant Texas Instruments has agreed to acquire Silicon Labs, an Austin-based leader in secure, intelligent wireless technology, for $231 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $7.5 billion.<\/p>\n
The acquisition aims to create a global leader in embedded wireless connectivity solutions by combining Silicon Labs\u2019 portfolio and expertise in mixed signal solutions with Texas Instruments\u2019 analog and embedded processing portfolio, along with its technology and manufacturing capabilities, TI said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe acquisition of Silicon Labs is a significant milestone that strengthens our long-term embedded processing strategy,\u201d said Haviv Ilan, chairman, president and CEO of TI.<\/p>\n
\u201cSilicon Labs\u2019 leading embedded wireless connectivity portfolio enhances our technology and IP, enabling greater scale and allowing us to better serve our customers,\u201d he added in a statement. \u201cTexas Instruments\u2019 industry-leading and internally owned technology and manufacturing is optimized for Silicon Labs\u2019 portfolio, and will provide customers dependable supply worldwide.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Doing more together<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether, we can do more,\u201d Ilan said. \u201cThe Texas Instruments and Silicon Labs teams share a high-performing culture focused on excellence, engineering and innovation, and I\u2019m highly confident this transaction positions the combined company to deliver sustained value creation for Texas Instruments\u2019 shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
The combined company will fuel growth by better serving existing and new customers through enhanced innovation and market access, TI said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matt Johnson, president and CEO of Silicon Labs, said the two companies \u201cshare a strong Texas heritage and a long-term commitment to building technology companies the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the last decade, Silicon Labs has delivered double-digit growth, driven by the accelerating demand for more connected devices,\u201d Johnson added in a statement. \u201cThe opportunity ahead is significant for both Texas Instruments and Silicon Labs. By combining our embedded wireless connectivity portfolio with Texas Instruments\u2019 scale, technology and manufacturing capabilities, we will be positioned to serve more customers and accelerate innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Strategic and financial benefits<\/p>\n
Per Texas Instruments, the deal enhances global leadership in embedded wireless connectivity solutions. With breadth and depth across products, technology and customers, the combined company is positioned to be a top provider of embedded wireless connectivity solutions, a fast-growing area with more devices getting connected every day. The acquisition grows the TI portfolio, adding about 1,200 products that support a variety of wireless connectivity standards and protocols.<\/p>\n
The acquisition also leverages industry-leading, dependable and low-cost manufacturing capacity to better serve customers, TI said.\u00a0 It positions the combined company to provide fully integrated process, design, and manufacturing capabilities by reshoring Silicon Labs\u2019 manufacturing from external foundries, leveraging TI\u2019s industry-leading and internally owned capacity. TI\u2019s manufacturing footprint includes 300mm wafer fab facilities in the U.S., as well as internal assembly and test capabilities, providing low-cost capacity available at scale for Silicon Labs\u2019 products. TI\u2019s defined process technologies, including 28nm, are optimized for Silicon Labs\u2019 wireless connectivity portfolio, enabling more efficient and faster future process technology design cycles, the company said.<\/p>\n
The acquisition aims to deepen customer engagement through reach of market channel and cross-sell opportunities. TI said its direct customer relationships, experienced sales force, and extensive website and e-commerce capabilities can speed growth further. Silicon Labs\u2019 record of delivering approximately 15% compound annual revenue growth since 2014 is supported by increasing customer access, cross-sell opportunities, and deepening engagement with existing customers. The combined company\u2019s strengthened product portfolio will better serve its combined customer base, TI said.<\/p>\n
The transaction is expected to generate ~$450 million in annual manufacturing and operational synergies within three years post-close, TI added.<\/p>\n
Details of the deal<\/p>\n
Under the terms of the agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of both companies, Silicon Labs stockholders will receive $231 in cash for each share of Silicon Labs common stock they hold at the time of closing. Texas Instruments expects to fund the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and debt financing to be arranged prior to closing. The transaction is not subject to any financing contingency.<\/p>\n
The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, including approval by Silicon Labs stockholders.<\/p>\n
The acquisition is expected to add to Texas Instruments\u2019 earnings per share, excluding transaction-related costs, in the first full year following closing. Texas Instruments said it remains committed to its capital return strategy of returning 100% of free cash flow to shareholders over time through dividends and share repurchases.<\/p>\n
