Altera offers a proven and highly scalable architecture and tool chain and is focused on driving growth and FPGA innovation to meet the demands and opportunities of an AI-driven market.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIntel will own the remaining 49% of the Altera business, enabling it to participate in Altera\u2019s future success while focusing on its core business.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIntel also announced that Raghib Hussain will succeed Sandra Rivera as chief executive officer of Altera, effective May 5, 2025. Hussain is a highly accomplished and visionary technology executive with strong business acumen and engineering credentials. He joins Altera from his previous role as president of Products and Technologies at Marvell. Prior to joining Marvell in 2018, Hussain served as chief operating officer of Cavium, a company he co-founded. Prior to Cavium, Hussain held engineering roles at both Cisco and Cadence and helped found VPNet, an enterprise security company.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cToday\u2019s announcement reflects our commitment to sharpening our focus, lowering our expense structure and strengthening our balance sheet,\u201d said Lip-Bu Tan, chief executive officer of Intel. \u201cAltera continues to make progress repositioning its product portfolio to participate in the fastest growing and most profitable segments of the FPGA market. We are grateful for Sandra\u2019s strong leadership and lasting impact throughout her 25-year Intel career and wish her continued success as she begins a new chapter. Raghib is a superb executive we selected to lead the business forward based on his vast industry experience and proven track record of success. We look forward to partnering with Silver Lake upon closing of the transaction, as their industry expertise will help to accelerate Altera&#8217;s efforts and unlock additional economic value for Intel.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis investment represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in a scale leader in advanced semiconductors. Together with Raghib, we will be focused on strengthening Altera\u2019s technology leadership position and investing in emerging AI-driven markets such as edge computing and robotics,\u201d said Kenneth Hao, chairman and managing partner of Silver Lake. \u201cWe look forward to working closely with Intel as a strategic partner who will continue to provide U.S.-based foundry services and complementary engagement with customers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI am excited to lead Altera in its next chapter, and this milestone with Silver Lake furthers Altera\u2019s journey to be the world&#8217;s No. 1 FPGA solutions provider,\u201d said Hussain. \u201cBacked by Silver Lake\u2019s strong track record and now with clarity of focus as an independent company, Altera is well-positioned to build on its momentum and deliver breakthrough FPGA-based solutions that are shaping the future of compute driven by AI. I am grateful for the impact Sandra has made and the team she has built as we begin Altera\u2019s next phase of growth.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAltera has been at the forefront of driving FPGA innovations for more than 40 years. The company provides leading programmable solutions that are easy-to-use and deploy in a range of strategically important segments such as industrial, communications, data center and military, aerospace, and government, as well as emerging markets such as AI\/edge and robotics. Its broad portfolio of programmable semiconductor solutions, software and development tools deliver the reliability and flexibility needed to accelerate customer technology innovation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nUpon closing, Intel expects to deconsolidate Altera\u2019s financial results from Intel\u2019s consolidated financial statements. In Fiscal Year 2024, Altera generated revenues of $1.54 billion, GAAP gross margin of $361 million and GAAP operating loss of $615 million. Altera\u2019s Fiscal Year 2024 non-GAAP gross margin was $769 million and non-GAAP operating income was $35 million.
