(PresseBox) (Tokyo, Japan, )
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723, hereinafter "Renesas"), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced "Direction of various measures to establish robust and profitable structure". The outline of the direction is as follows. Please refer to the attached presentation material for more details.

Renesas has been aiming for the stable growth as achieving a double-digit operating profit since the merger in April, 2010. However, the sales figure drastically declined in fiscal year 2011 as a result of the Great East Japan earthquake, flooding in Thailand, as well as sluggish world economy, and Renesas is in urgent need of business recovery. In these circumstances, Renesas is further accelerating its moves to achieve more efficient production and strengthen its financial basis to enhance its profitable structure. As part of the move, Renesas decided its direction to reform domestic production sites of Renesas Group, as well as to streamline employees, the overview of which is described below.
