CommScope postpones plan to spin-off Home Networks division
Thursday, February 17th, 2022
HICKORY, N.C. — CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network connectivity solutions, reported results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.
“In light of the ongoing impact of supply chain pressures on the Home Networks business that began in the summer of 2021, including semiconductor supply decommits and extended component lead times, we have determined that market conditions are not currently conducive to proceeding with the planned spin-off of Home Networks into an independent company in the second quarter of 2022. We remain committed to the merits of strategically separating Home Networks from CommScope, and still plan to execute on that strategy when clear evidence of a more normalized and predictable supply environment emerges.” said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer.
CommScope NEXT
As a step in the CommScope NEXT transformation plan, in April 2021, the Company announced a plan to spin-off the Home Networks business. Due to the unfavorable performance of the Home Networks business in the second half of 2021, which was driven primarily by supply chain shortages and delays, the Company is postponing the separation plan. The Company remains committed to a strategic separation of the Home Networks business from CommScope; however, the Company does not have an estimate of when the separation of the Home Networks business will be completed at this time.
Home Networks
Net sales of $476.7 million, decreased 18.1% from the prior year period primarily driven by declines in Broadband Connectivity Devices.
