LOWELL, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 18, 2019MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc.

The Restructuring Plan Includes:

The Company also announced it will no longer invest in the design and development of optical modules and subsystems for Data Center applications. Going forward, MACOM will be a merchant supplier of semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) and photonic devices and will support optical module manufacturers at the semiconductor component level.

“We do not make these decisions lightly, however, these actions are necessary in order to strengthen our strategic plan,” said Stephen Daly, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Company expects approximately $14 million in restructuring charges including $7 million for employee severance obligations, a majority of which are expected to be incurred during the third fiscal quarter of 2019. In addition, the Company is performing a recoverability assessment for its long-lived assets, most specifically its intangible assets that may be impacted by the restructuring plan. As of March 29, 2019, MACOM’s intangible assets had a carrying value of $472 million. To date, the Company has identified approximately $15 million of non-cash impairment charges in addition to the restructuring charges discussed above, associated with these restructuring actions.
