Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany (29 July 2025) -- ams OSRAM
sells its Entertainment and Industry Lamps business to Ushio Inc. for EUR
114 m as first divestment under its deleveraging plan
“After the successful extension of the Revolving Credit Facility and the
placement of additional senior notes, we deliver today the first result of
our accelerated deleveraging plan in terms of executing divestment
options. With Ushio, we have found the perfect new home for our
sophisticated, high-end specialty lamps niche-business. At the same time,
we are further streamlining our portfolio towards our core markets.” said
Aldo Kamper, CEO of ams OSRAM.
Sale of Entertainment and Industry Lamps business
ams OSRAM has signed an agreement with Ushio Inc., a global leader in the
field of optical technologies, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, for the sale
of its Entertainment and Industry Lamps (ENI) business. The transaction is
expected to close until end of March 2026, subject to typical closing
procedures. The purchase price of EUR 114 million is on a
cash-and-debt-free basis. Net deal proceeds will be determined upon final
closing accounts at date of closing.
ENI’s product portfolio ranges from specialty lamps for infrastructure and
cinema applications to extremely sophisticated light sources for
semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment (WFE). The profitable ENI
business delivered revenues of approx. EUR 170 million in 2024.
Ushio Inc. has approx. 6,000 employees and provides light units,
equipment, systems, and services through developing new light sources and
developing and applying proprietary optical technology, serving a
multitude of industrial segments.
Executing its balance sheet improvement plan
On 30 April 2025, ams OSRAM announced its accelerated, comprehensive plan
to reach its target leverage ratio of net-debt / adj. EBITDA below 2
consisting of various, complementary elements. Amongst these are an
improving free-cash-flow performance on the back of a seamless execution
of its strategic efficiency program ‘Re-establish the Base’, structural
growth in the core semiconductor business, the disposal of its
8-inch-Kulim facility thereby eliminating the sale & leaseback liability
for this factory, as well as the consideration of strategic options for
various additional assets (e.g. divestments) with the goal to generate
proceeds well above EUR 500 million.
The sale of its ENI Business to Ushio Inc. is the first step in these
considerations.
