PREMSTAETTEN, Austria & MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 2026-- ams OSRAM sells non-optical analog/mixed-signal sensor business to Infineon for EUR 570 m in cash, reduces pro-forma leverage ratio to 2.5 and is creating the leader in Digital Photonics

“With the focused sale of our non-optical automotive, industrial & medical sensor business to Infineon for EUR 570 million in cash, we are effectively killing two birds with one stone: we are accelerating the deleveraging of our balance sheet while at the same time creating a compelling strategic pure play – the leader in Digital Photonics. We are emerging as the Photonics Powerhouse, offering the broadest suite of cutting-edge semiconductor emitting & sensing platforms, uniquely positioned to capture the major inflection points in Digital Photonics across automotive, Augmented Reality smart glasses, biosensing, home and industrial robotics, AI data-center optical interconnects and potentially even visionary applications like laser fusion.” said Aldo Kamper, CEO of ams OSRAM.

Sale of Non-Optical Analog/Mixed-Signal Sensor Business to Infineon

The company has entered into an agreement to sell its non‑optical analog and mixed‑signal sensors business — focused on automotive, industrial, and medical applications — to Infineon for EUR 570 million in cash on a debt‑ and cash‑free basis. The business to be sold generated approximately EUR 220 million in annual revenue and EUR 60 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2025. The transaction includes the related business assets and intellectual property, and around 230 employees across four primary sites will transfer to the buyer. Production facilities are not part of the transaction; instead, the company will provide manufacturing services to Infineon for a multi‑year period. With only customary regulatory approvals required, the transaction is expected to close in the second calendar quarter 2026.

Creating the Leader in Digital Photonics

Upon closing, ams OSRAM will emerge as a focused semiconductor photonics powerhouse – the pure-play leader in Digital Photonics. The company brings together the industry’s broadest portfolio of cutting‑edge optical emitter and sensor technologies, complemented by advanced driver and power‑management IC capabilities. Across many segments, customers benefit from geopolitically resilient, vertically integrated supply chains.

Following a transition phase to align the organization, infrastructure and cost base with this new focus, the company sees significant mid‑ and long‑term growth opportunities driven by the global Digital Photonics megatrend.

To capture this momentum, ams OSRAM will intensify investments in key growth vectors: highly pixelated EVIYOS^TM forward‑lighting solutions, micro-emitter projection arrays for AR smart glasses, as well as optical scale‑up interconnects for AI data centers. In sensing, investment priorities include spectral sensing, biosensing and multi‑zone Time-of-Flight distance sensing – particularly for robotics.

In parallel, the company will expand its CMOS capabilities along two strategic axes: broadening the emitter‑driver and power‑management IC portfolio and scaling its 200 mm mixed‑signal foundry in Premstaetten to meet rapidly growing global demand for these technologies.

2030 – Over-the-cycle Financial Targets

On a preliminary basis, the company aims to achieve the following – over-the-cycle – financial targets in 2030:

Digital Photonics Driving Future Growth

Digital Photonics is the core engine of our future growth — the digitalization of light emission and optical sensing by combining advanced emitters, sensors and electronics. This technology enhances how physical environments interact with light, enabling dynamic lighting, light-based design, projection as a display, light enabled sensing, material treatment, directed energy and high-speed data communication. These capabilities underpin major global megatrends including ADAS, autonomous driving, AR/VR, AI, robotics, smart health and smart devices.

ams OSRAM’s proprietary ‘Digital Light’ technology — awarded the German Future Award in 2024 — marked a breakthrough after a decade of development. Its first commercial adoption came through high pixel automotive forward lighting under the EVIYOS™ brand name. With more than EUR 500 million in design wins already secured, this technology has a clear growth trajectory. As pixel sizes shrink and the color range expands, ‘Digital Light’ becomes a compelling projection engine for everyday AR glasses. Looking ahead, optimized micro emitter arrays could make it a leading solution for high bandwidth, low power, low-cost optical interconnects in AI data centers. ‘Digital Light’ thus offers significant mid- and long-term growth potential.

ams OSRAM has also built a leadership position in digitalized optical sensors that already contributes triple-digit-million Euro revenues, today. Its comprehensive portfolio — spanning ambient light, proximity, flicker, time-of-flight, bio, spectral, ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), temperature and force touch sensors — sets industry benchmarks across display management, camera enhancement and numerous adjacent applications. This business carries substantial medium- and long-term growth opportunities.

The company’s unique expertise in optical sensing was further recognized in 2024, when the Austrian government awarded EUR 215 million under the European Chips Act to establish a first-of-a-kind manufacturing facility combining CMOS, TSV (Through-Silicon-Via) and advanced optical filters.

Traditional Automotive Lamps Business for Funding Growth in Semis and Internal Financing

The traditional automotive lamps and after-market business will remain part of the Group’s portfolio. This segment is intended to stay revenue‑stable and optimized for profitability, typically delivering 13 % to 15 % adjusted EBITDA per year. Generating around EUR 90 million of steady annual cash flow, it serves as a reliable internal funding source — supporting the transition and growth of the semiconductor business, while contributing to debt service and further deleveraging.

Implementation of Balance Sheet Improvement Plan

On 30 April 2025, the company announced an accelerated and comprehensive plan to deleverage its balance sheet. In addition to operational improvements under the ‘Re‑establish the Base’ (RtB) program, the plan included assessing asset disposals well above EUR 500 million.

Since then, the company has signed agreements to divest its Entertainment & Industry (‘Specialty’) Lamps business to Ushio Inc. for approx. EUR 100 million net. Including today’s announced transaction, these business asset sales will generate around EUR 670 million in cash proceeds upon closing that are earmarked for reducing its leverage. The company intends to use around EUR 130 million of proceeds that are related to assets guaranteeing the Group’s convertible bonds and senior notes to reduce its financial indebtedness relating to these instruments in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of these instruments.

As of 31 December 2025, the company held EUR 1,483 million in cash, resulting in net debt of EUR 1,518 million excluding the outstanding OSRAM minority put options and EUR 2,023 million including them. Based on an estimated EUR 600 million of adjusted EBITDA for FY2025 (Q1 to Q3 reported plus the midpoint of Q4 guidance), the net‑debt‑to‑LTM‑adjusted‑EBITDA ratio stood at 2.5 and 3.3, respectively.

Balance Sheet

Including the deal proceeds of EUR 670 million the net-debt-to-LTM-adjusted-EBITDA leverage ratio will decline on a pro-forma basis to 2.5 (which includes the OSRAM minorities put options) and minimize the amount to be refinanced.

The company continues to work on a solution for the Kulim Sale-and-Lease-Back (SLB), which will reduce the leverage further. When the SLB can be resolved, the pro-forma leverage ratio is expected to drop below the target ratio of 2.

In 2026, adj. EBITDA of the group will temporarily decrease due to the divestitures and the associated cost-overhang.

During the transition phase until refinancing the remaining debt, the company expects annual financing cost of approx. EUR 250 to 300 million.

The remaining debt will be refinanced at better terms and the company aims to reduce the financing expenses to below EUR 150 million annually by 2028 through the lower debt load and better financing conditions and thereby strengthen the operating cash flow further.
