Third Quarter Results

·     Cash Grows to $107.5 Million

·     Cash Generation of Over $20 Million

Seoul, South Korea, October 26, 2006 – MagnaChip Semiconductor today announced results for the third quarter ended October 1, 2006.

Revenue for the three months ended October 1, 2006 was $171.3 million, compared to $243.1 million in the third quarter of 2005.

Gross margin was $20.9 million or 12.2% of revenue for the quarter ended October 1 2006, compared to $61.9 million or 25.5% of revenue for the third quarter of 2005.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2006 were $55.1 million or 32.2% of revenue, compared to $55.2 million or 22.7% of revenue in the third quarter of 2005. Operating loss for the third quarter of 2006 was $34.2 million compared to an operating income of $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2005.

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 was $13.9 million, compared to $14.9 million in the third quarter of 2005. Net loss for the three months ended October 1, 2006 was $47.7 million compared to a net loss of $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2005.

Sang Park, President and CEO of MagnaChip Semiconductor, commented, “We made considerable progress in the quarter strengthening our customer relationships, accelerating the rollout of our technology into the CMOS image sensor market, and expanding our foundry services. Of note, we launched a unique solution, which offers a highly integrated PMOLED solution for use in many leading mobile phone and MP3 player displays. This is an exciting opportunity for MagnaChip as PMOLED technology is expected to be applied to QQVGA (128X160) mobile phones beginning in Q4 2006. We also launched a flexible, high resolution LCD driver solution for high-end mobile phones, Digital Media Broadcasting (DMB) and mobile TV phones. This is our third generation one-chip solution with a dramatic size reduction


realized by integrating two chip sets into one. Finally, we opened a new European office, expanding our sales and marketing resources in order to more efficiently develop new customers in the region and provide the highest level of support. Overall, we are building positive momentum in our new product and service delivery. I remain highly confident in the Company’s prospects for growth and success.”

Robert Krakauer, EVP of Corporate Operations and CFO of MagnaChip Semiconductor, said, “We achieved sequential improvements in gross margin, operating margin and net income. Utilization was slightly lower at 72% in the quarter compared to 76% in the prior second quarter of 2006, inline with the broader industry and lower inventory levels across the channel. Our capital expenditures were lower than previously forecast at $7.5 million, despite the fact that we are ramping with several new customers. We generated significant cash during the quarter, ending with cash of $107.5 million on good progress in working capital management.”

Fourth Quarter 2006 Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company expects revenues to be down by 10% to 12% compared to the third quarter reflecting reduced visibility and the potential for a slow down in its wafer foundry service business. The Company expects gross margins to be approximately 9% to 10% due to reduced loadings and partially offset by cost containment measures.

Use of Non-US GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a US GAAP basis, MagnaChip Semiconductor uses non-US GAAP measures of gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), that are US GAAP gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses or gains, referred to as special items. Non-US GAAP adjusted gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) measure give an indication of our baseline performance before other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. In addition, our non-US GAAP adjusted measure of gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
