AUSTRIA Hardware & Electronics / Electronic Components / Sensors & Optics EV 500M - 1.5b EUR

Context

Infineon agreed to acquire the non-optical sensor business from AMS-Osram in a strategic carve-out. For AMS-Osram, this divestment marks a definitive pivot towards becoming a pure-play "Digital Photonics" leader, shedding non-core assets to focus entirely on optical semiconductors (LEDs, lasers, optical sensors). For Infineon, the acquisition strengthens its technological footprint in high-precision sensing without the burden of acquiring additional factories. The deal is structured as a "fabless" asset transfer: Infineon acquires the intellectual property, customer contracts, and R&D teams, but has signed a long-term supply agreement for AMS-Osram to continue manufacturing the wafers as a foundry service.

AMS-OSRAM (NON-OPTICAL SENSOR DIVISION), which reported an EBITDA margin of in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of , representing a to the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (14.8x).
