On the day before, NXP M & A Freescale This semiconductor industry is released, and the horse has caused a small concern. Under the 2015 Semiconductor Industry, there will be a prediction of the tide, and many semiconductor companies have also appeared in the opening, but NXP and Freescale have two old competitors, why will it merge? (For details, please refer to: Shocked! NXP and Freescale declared a merge of $ 40 billion)
In fact, the sale of Freescale is not the first time for Freescale, let us review the development history of Freescale -
Freescale is formed by the semiconductor sector of the original Motorola in 2004. Motorola announced in October 2003 to peel off Freescale, July the second year, Freescale is listed. On September 15, 2006, Freescale announced the acceptance of the acquisition of the consortium led by Baishitong Group (ie Black Stone Group, Blackstone Group). On November 13, the Special Shareholders General Assembly decided to agree to the acquisition. December 1 The total amount reached $ 17.6 billion in acquisition. It can be seen that the sale of Freescale is not surprising, but NXP and Freescale are the relationship between competitors before the acquisition, why is NXP to merge Freescale?
From the annual financial report, Freescale 2014 has sold 4.63 billion US dollars, the gross profit margin is 45.9%, with an annual growth rate of 11%. Product sales have increased by 16%, which is equivalent to twice the average growth rate of the market.
From a business development, Freescale has achieved impressive performance through a series of strategic deployments and transformation, and the revenue has grown sharply, and established the fastest growing market that is the fastest growing in China-dominated Asia-Pacific market. Freescale currently has 16 sales offices in China and has established 5 R & D centers including Chengdu. The distribution business has grown rapidly, and the 2014 increased by 23% to 27%.
Since there is no major problem in the full year of earnings and business development, why will the two companies choose a merger?
As people pay more attention to their safety while watching the Internet of Things, Freescall hopes to focus on the safe and reliable embedded processing solution for future Internet of Things (IoT).
At the same time, NXP has a variety of security components, which can provide security and connection solutions for mobile payments, interconnected cars, network security, mobile devices, and Internet of Things, and NXP also hopes to be objects with their own advantages. The netbook escorted.
From this perspective, Freescale and NXP merge will allow them to get better development on the Internet of Things while enriched products. However, this is still not comprehensive to see NXP and Freescale.
NXP and Freescale two companies are mainly cultivated in the automotive electronic chip market, and are also associated with IDM (integrated component manufacturing). However, look at the business involved in Freescale, Freescale focuses on embedded processing solutions, providing automotive, network, industrial and consumer electronics markets, including microprocessors, microcontrollers, sensors, simulation integration Circuits and connections.
From Freescale 2014 financial report, the sales of microcontroller is 23.2 billion, and the annual sales increased by 15%; the sales of digital networks is 217 million, the annual increase is 13%; the sales of the automotive MCU business unit is 271 million, An annual increase of 12%; the simulation and sensor business sales were 193 million, an increase of 8% year-round; the sales of RF business was $ 164 million, an increase of 57% year-round. Freescale has risen 43% this year, as of $ 36.11 on February 27, a market value of 1.1 billion US dollars. Therefore, from the huge products and technical resources owned by Freescale, you can get it by acquiring NXP. At the same time, the growth of each business department of Freescale will also be conducive to the growth of NXP performance after the acquisition. In addition to the related products, NXP can also get the capacity and technology of wafer and the seal test plant, especially Freescale itself is a sensor component supplier, and we also have reason to believe that Freescale should also Accumulated a lot of strength.
By acquiring, both companies can get better development in the field of Internet of Things and achieve complementary products, and enhance competitiveness. From the perspective of technical resources, through the acquisition of NXP, many technologies, including Freescale, including the capacity and technology of the wafer and the seal test plant, and the strength of the package accumulation. Through these reasons, it is not difficult to see that the acquisition can improve the product quality and improve its own bargaining ability, and hope to borrow the world's largest vehicle chip and universal microcontroller supplier, so complementary and winning may be two The company's best choice!
