(Oslo, Norway, October 28, 2024) Nordic Semiconductor today announces a
strategic resource realignment that includes a global workforce reduction of
approximately 8% of the company's total workforce.
"We have made the difficult decision to reduce the size of our workforce, and we
are also re-balancing and re-organizing our teams, as part of our broader
strategy to deliver Nordic's target business model," says Nordic Semiconductor
CEO Vegard Wollan.
"The re-balancing of resources reflects ongoing initiatives to sharpen Nordic's
focus towards strategically critical programs, improve operating efficiency, and
optimize operating expenses."
Nordic expects to charge its fourth quarter and full year 2024 results with
restructuring costs of approximately USD 5 million.
The projected cost savings were already included in the company's communicated
target of a flat cost base in 2025 compared with 2024.
The organizational changes have been planned and will be implemented in
cooperation with employee organizations in the different countries.
"We are committed to supporting our outgoing colleagues and thank these
employees for their contributions to the development of Nordic," Wollan
concludes.
