theflyonthewall.com: Applied Materials to restructure Energy and Environmental Solutions
On May 9, 2012, a committee of the Board of Directors of Applied Materials approved a plan to restructure the Company’s Energy and Environmental Solutions segment in light of challenging industry conditions affecting the solar photovoltaic and light-emitting diode equipment markets. These actions are consistent with the Company’s previously-stated goal to reduce the EES segment’s annual revenue breakeven level to $500M in fiscal 2013. A spart of the Plan, Applied expects to relocate manufacturing for its Precision Wafering System solar business based in Cheseaux, Switzerland to Asia. PWS business operations and customer support functions will be relocated primarily to Treviso, Italy, and Xi’an, China. The Plan also includes significant reductions in development activities for LED. Workforce-related actions will be finalized and implemented in accordance with local legal requirements and in consultation with employees and employee representative bodies, as required. The total estimated pre-tax cost of implementing the Plan is expected to be in the range of approximately $70 million to $100 million, or $0.04 to $0.06 per share, which will be incurred over the next 12 to 18 months beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The Plan will impact up to approximately 250 positions globally. :theflyonthewall.com
