NEWS RELEASE
SILICON LABORATORIES TO
ACQUIRE INTEGRATION ASSOCIATES,
DIVERSIFIED MIXED-SIGNAL COMPANY
-
Acquisition Brings
New Product Vectors and High Caliber Development Team -
AUSTIN, Texas, June 24, 2008
-
Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB) today announced it
has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Silicon Valley-based Integration
Associates, an innovator in analog-intensive, highly integrated ICs, for net
$80 million, taking into consideration Integration Associates' cash balances
and net current assets. Integration Associates brings a diverse portfolio of connectivity,
wireless and power solutions, quality revenue and nearly 100 engineers to
Silicon Laboratories.
Integration Associates'
portfolio is aligned with Silicon Laboratories' objective to broaden system
content within existing applications and to enter new markets. Specifically, the
acquisition augments Silicon Laboratories' R&D investments currently in
place in short range wireless, a large market that includes home automation, remote
keyless entry and automated meter reading applications. This is an untapped
market for Silicon Laboratories where Integration Associates has developed
innovative products, an expanding customer base and a growing revenue stream.
Integration Associates'
products will also accelerate Silicon Laboratories' expansion into the audio
subsystem, a natural extension of the current broadcast audio portfolio. And,
the company's power portfolio is a strategic addition to Silicon Laboratories' nascent
power product line, which is in the early stages of revenue ramp.
"This acquisition will
enable us to address new product vectors, accelerate time to revenue for
current investments and further scale our engineering team with the addition of
an experienced
group of mixed-signal
design and application engineers", said Necip Sayiner, president and CEO of
Silicon Laboratories. "Additionally, good quality revenue and attractive growth
potential further enhance our operational profile as we expect this transaction
to be accretive in 2009".
"We have developed a
solid business based on innovative technology, and we're at a key inflection
point with new products", said Jean-Luc Nauleau, CEO of Integration Associates.
"The timing is right for us to leverage the sales channel and infrastructure of
a larger company and Silicon Labs is the perfect partner. Our technology focus
and core competency are well aligned with Silicon Labs' capabilities, and we
will also have an opportunity to jump start a number of very promising new
products as a result of the combination".
Integration Associates is
a private company based in Mountain View, California with additional design
centers in Europe. The company has built quarterly revenue to a run rate of
approximately $8 million. The acquisition is expected to be slightly dilutive
to Silicon Laboratories in 2008, offset by better than previously anticipated
performance in Silicon Labs' existing business. The acquisition is expected to
be accretive in 2009. The board of directors of each company has approved the
merger, which awaits the satisfaction of regulatory requirements and other
customary closing conditions.
