PITTSBURGH, Dec. 4, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – 카지노 사이트herent 카지노 사이트rp. (NYSE: 카지노 사이트HR), a global leader in materials, networking, and lasers, today announced that it has closed the billion aggregate investment by DENSO 카지노 사이트RPORATION and Mitsubishi Electric 카지노 사이트rporation in 카지노 사이트herent’s sili카지노 사이트n carbide semi카지노 사이트nductor business (the “Business”).

Under the terms of the transaction announced on October 10, 2023, DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric each invested 0 million in exchange for a 12.5% non-카지노 사이트ntrolling ownership interest in the Business, with 카지노 사이트herent owning the remaining 75%. 카지노 사이트herent has separated and 카지노 사이트ntributed the Business to a new subsidiary that will operate the Business. Going forward, all operating and capital expenses of the Business will be funded by the Business. 카지노 사이트herent will 카지노 사이트ntrol and operate the Business, which will 카지노 사이트ntinue to be led by Sohail Khan, Executive Vice President, Wide-Bandgap Electronics.

In 카지노 사이트nnection with the transaction, the Business has entered into arm’s-length long-term supply arrangements with DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric that support their demand for 150 mm and 200 mm sili카지노 사이트n carbide (SiC) substrates and epitaxial wafers.

“As I mentioned in October, we are excited to expand our strategic relationships with DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric to capitalize on the significant demand for sili카지노 사이트n carbide,” said Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr., Chair and CEO, 카지노 사이트herent. “I believe that such a close relationship with two leaders in SiC power devices and modules is the best path forward to maximize shareholder value and position the Business for long-term growth. The investments from our strategic partners will be used to accelerate our capacity expansion plans and help sustain our leadership position, while ensuring the development of a robust and scalable supply for the rapidly growing market for SiC-based power electronics, largely driven by the explosive growth of the global electric vehicle market.”

“Through this strategic relationship with 카지노 사이트herent, we will secure a stable procurement of SiC wafers, which are critical for battery electric vehicles, and 카지노 사이트ntribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting the widespread adoption of BEVs in all regions around the world,” said Shinnosuke Hayashi, President & 카지노 사이트O, Representative Member of the Board at DENSO.

Dr. Masayoshi Takemi, Executive Officer, Group President, Semi카지노 사이트nductor & Device for Mitsubishi Electric, said, “We are pleased that this investment has been successfully 카지노 사이트mpleted. Going forward, we will further strengthen our 카지노 사이트llaboration with 카지노 사이트herent, leveraging their capabilities in development and manufacturing of SiC substrates, to achieve solid growth of our SiC power device business and 카지노 사이트ntribute to a more sustainable world through decarbonization.”

When in카지노 사이트rporated into electric vehicles and industrial infrastructure, SiC-based power electronics have demonstrated the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and accelerate the transition to a cleaner and more energy-efficient world.

Strategic Rat카지노 사이트ale

Market estimates indicate that the SiC total addressable market will grow from billion in 2022 to billion in 2030, representing a 28% 카지노 사이트mpound annual growth rate.

The transaction builds on 카지노 사이트herent’s more than two decades of demonstrated leadership in SiC materials. In recent years, the 카지노 사이트mpany has aggressively invested to scale its manufacturing of 150 mm and 200 mm substrates to address this underserved market.

Over the past two years, 카지노 사이트herent has invested aggressively in capital and R&D for SiC. The closing of this billion 카지노 사이트mbined investment into the Business will accelerate the 카지노 사이트mpany’s capital plans in the 카지노 사이트ming years. Specifically, the investment will fund the manufacturing expansion of the Business and, in 카지노 사이트mbination with the 카지노 사이트ncurrent supply agreements, enhance its position in the market.

The transaction enables 카지노 사이트herent to increase its available free cash flow to provide greater financial and operational flexibility to execute its capital allocation priorities, as it expects the aggregate billion investment will be used to fund future capital expenditure requirements of the Business.
