GE Announces Its Intent
To Explore Strategic Options For Consumer & Industrial With A
Focus On Spin-Off
GE today announced that it is continuing to explore all options
for its Consumer & Industrial
businesses
with a primary focus on spinning-off the entire unit --
Appliances, Lighting and Industrial -- to existing GE
shareholders. The Company announced on May 16 that a spin-off was
one possible outcome of the strategic review
of its Appliances division.
“As
we explored our options for Appliances, it became clear that the
fastest, most efficient step we could take in completing the
transformation of our Industrial portfolio would be to focus on a
possible spin-off of the entire unit,” GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt
said. “This is consistent with the
strategy we have been executing to transform the GE portfolio for
long-term growth and makes sense for GE shareholders.”
“While we will
continue to consider all opportunities for Consumer &
Industrial, focusing on a spin-off makes sense for these great
businesses as well. They have integrated processes, distribution
and backroom operations,” Immelt said. “Consumer & Industrial would
benefit by keeping a world-class leadership team intact, its
employees together and would have the ability to control their
own destiny. I am pleased that Jim Campbell and his team remain
committed to this effort."
GE
Appliances
is a leading innovator in its industry, and has been introducing
new products that enhance consumer lifestyles for almost a
century. It is recognized for its world-class products like GE
Monogram(R), GE Cafe(R) and a wide range of Energy Star certified
appliances.
GE Lighting
invented the world’s first incandescent light bulb in
1879 and continues to be at the leading edge of lighting
innovation with the Reveal(R), Edison and Energy Smart(R)
consumer brands.
GE’s Industrial
technologies
have harnessed power and delivered critical services safely and
efficiently around the world since 1892.
日本経済新聞 2008/7/10
米ゼネラル・エレクトリック（ＧＥ）は10日、創業事業である照明を含む家電事業などを分離する方針だと発表した。年間売上高は約130億ドル（約1兆4000億円）。利益率の低い白物家電の分離や売却などを検討してきたが、対象を広げたうえで独立企業とする。ＧＥ本体は高収益の航空エンジンや医療機器などに集中する。
対象となる製品は冷蔵庫やエアコンなどの白物家電のほか、個人、法人向けの照明など。厳しい価格競争を背景に、2007年に減収となったほか、営業利益率も約7.5％と、20％前後に達する他の事業に比べて低い。新会社の社名や資本金の規模などは未定。
ＧＥは5月に家電事業の売却や他社との提携、本体からの分離などを検討すると発表。中国家電最大手の海爾集団（ハイアール）や韓国ＬＧ電子などが有力な売却先とされていた。ジェフ・イメルト会長は「売却を検討してきたが、（照明なども含む）事業全体の独立が最適と判断した」とコメントした。分離により、他社との提携や売却などが容易になる。
GE announces intent to
seek strategic options for its appliances business
Options May Include Strategic
Partnership, Spin Off or Sale
GE today announced that it was reviewing strategic options for
its Appliances
business.
The Company is currently considering three possibilities for the
unit: a strategic partnership or joint
venture; spin off; or the sale of the
business.
“This
review is consistent with the strategy we have been executing to
transform our portfolio for long-term growth, “
GE Chairman and CEO
Jeff Immelt said. “Since 2003 we have exited slower
growth and more volatile businesses, generating $52 billion in
gross proceeds from dispositions. These proceeds have been
reinvested into a transformed portfolio of faster growth, higher
margin businesses, stock buybacks and other restructuring
activities.
“GE
Appliances has a very strong brand, great distribution, a
talented leadership team and for more than 100 years, has been
one of the icons associated with GE in the United States,”
Immelt said. “However, it remains primarily a
U.S. business, meaning its fortunes are tied to the rise and fall
of a single market. We want to make this good business great
again by finding the right strategic solution ? a solution that
will give Appliances the global reach and investment required to
compete more effectively,” Immelt said.
“Jim
Campbell and the Appliances leadership team have done a great job
running the business and I am pleased that they have agreed to
remain at the business,” Immelt said. “Their leadership has been critical
in creating world-class products like GE Monogram(R), GE Cafe(R)
and a wide range of Energy Star certified appliances.”
GE Appliances is
part of GE Industrial’s Consumer & Industrial
division, which also includes the lighting and electrical
distribution businesses. Those units will remain part of GE’s industrial platform. Both
businesses are global and fit well with GE’s environmental initiative,
ecomagination.
GE Appliances is a $7.2 billion business and employs about 13,000
people worldwide. It is headquartered in Louisville, KY.
