  • Die Transaktion steht im Einklang mit der Go-Forward-Strategie von Magna, die eine Beschleunigung der Investitionen in wachstumsstarken Bereichen vorsieht
  • Der kombinierte Pro-forma-ADAS-Umsatz wird für das Jahr 2024 auf rund 3 Milliarden US-Dollar geschätzt
  • Erweitert das ADAS-Portfolio von Magna um komplementäre Produkte, Kunden, Regionen, Engineering- und Software-Ressourcen

AURORA, Ontario, Jan. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG; NYSE: MGA) gab heute bekannt, dass das Unternehmen eine Vereinbarung über den Erwerb des Geschäftsbereichs Veoneer Active Safety von SSW Partners für 1,525 Milliarden US-Dollar in Bar abgeschlossen hat, vorbehaltlich des Betriebskapitals und anderer üblicher Kaufpreisanpassungen. Dieser Geschäftsbereich wird im Jahr 2024 voraussichtlich einen Umsatz von rund 3 Milliarden US-Dollar erzielen und damit das ADAS-Geschäft von Magna als weltweit führend positionieren.

Die Übernahme baut auf den Stärken von Magna im Bereich Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) auf und positioniert das Unternehmen mit umfangreichen Produkten und Fähigkeiten, um Kunden eine vollständige Palette an ADAS-Lösungen zu bieten.

Die Akquisition erweitert die ADAS-Kundenbasis und die geografische Diversifizierung von Magna und führt zu erheblichen technischen Ressourcen.

„Diese Akquisition steht im Einklang mit unserer Go-Forward-Strategie, Investitionen in wachstumsstarke Bereiche zu beschleunigen. Sie stärkt unsere Fähigkeit, Systemlösungen für Kundenbedürfnisse zu liefern, und positioniert Magna als führenden ADAS-Komplettanbieter'', sagte Magna-CEO Swamy Kotagiri. „Wir planen, Innovation zu forcieren, indem wir auf den Stärken beider Organisationen aufbauen, einschließlich Kunden, Lieferanten, Technologiepartnern und Mitarbeitern. Ich freue mich, die talentierten Mitarbeiter von Veoneer Active Safety in unserer globalen Magna-Familie willkommen zu heißen.''

ÜBERBLICK ÜBER DIE TRANSAKTION

  • Erweitert Magnas ADAS-Sensor- und Komplettsystemkompetenz, einschließlich Radar, Kamera, ADAS-Steuergerät und Fahrerüberwachung.
  • 2.200 neue Ingenieure, davon 1.800 für System-, Software- und Sensorentwicklung.
  • Der Umsatz von Veoneer Active Safety wird für das Jahr 2022 auf etwa 1,1 Milliarden US-Dollar geschätzt und soll bis 2024 auf etwa 1,9 Milliarden US-Dollar ansteigen.
  • Zusammen mit Magna Electronics wird der Geschäftsbereich voraussichtlich einen Pro-forma-ADAS-Umsatz von ca. 1,8 Mrd. USD im Jahr 2022 und ca. 3 Mrd. USD im Jahr 2024 erzielen und voraussichtlich einen höheren ADAS-Anteil pro Fahrzeug generieren.
  • Magna geht davon aus, dass das Verhältnis von bereinigter Verschuldung zu bereinigtem EBITDA bis Ende 2023 leicht über dem von Magna angestrebten Wert von 1,0 bis 1,5 liegen wird und dass das Unternehmen weiterhin über eine große finanzielle Flexibilität verfügt.
  • Barkaufpreis von 1,525 Milliarden US-Dollar, vorbehaltlich des Betriebskapitals und anderer üblicher Kaufpreisanpassungen.
  • Die Transaktion wird voraussichtlich gegen Mitte des Jahres 2023 abgeschlossen sein, vorbehaltlich bestimmter behördlicher Genehmigungen und anderer üblicher Abschlussbedingungen.
