Cherry SE announced it has decided to initiate an M&A process for the potential divestment of one of its two business segments, either "Digital Health & Solutions" or "Peripherals." The decision comes as the company faces continuing constraints on financial flexibility despite previously implemented restructuring measures. The Digital Health & Solutions segment comprises e-health terminals, mobile devices, firmware, software and cloud solutions such as TI-M or TMS, while the Peripherals segment consists of a comprehensive product portfolio ranging from gaming devices to office, industrial, and security peripherals.
The liquidity generated from any potential sale is intended to be used to reduce liabilities and provide the remaining part of the business with sufficient financial resources to finance its growth plans. This strategic move highlights the challenges facing hardware manufacturers in balancing diverse business segments amid financial pressures. The announcement signals Cherry SE's need to streamline operations and focus resources on core areas that can drive future profitability.
Tomorrow at 2 p.m. CET, Cherry SE will hold its virtual extraordinary general meeting where the Management Board will explain the circumstances that led to a loss amounting to half of Cherry SE's registered share capital, as well as provide further details on the M&A plans. Investors and industry observers will be watching closely as the company navigates this critical restructuring phase. The decision to potentially divest a major business segment reflects broader trends in the technology sector where companies are reevaluating their portfolios to optimize performance and shareholder value.
