TOKYO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 27, 2017 — Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723, “Renesas”), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

“We have been successfully improving our gross and operating margins by pursuing sales growth and cost containment,” said Bunsei Kure, President and CEO, Renesas Electronics Corporation. “Our second quarter semiconductor sales increased by 31.7% year on year mainly driven by strong demand for our products in the automotive and industrial markets. The growth is also attributed to the integration of Intersil and the dissipation of the impact from the Kumamoto earthquake that occurred in the same period a year ago. We expect to achieve traction in semiconductor sales and gross/operating margins during the coming quarter on a year-on-year basis.”
