Fourth Quarter Results

Seoul, South Korea, January 26, 2007 – MagnaChip Semiconductor today announced results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $162.3 million, compared to $245.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Gross margin was $18 million or 11.1% of revenue for the quarter ended December 31 2006, compared to $60.4 million or 24.6% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2005.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $57 million or 35.1% of revenue. This included impairment and disposal loss of $2.1 million taken in association with dispositions of tangible assets previously classified as held-for-sale. Excluding the impairment and disposal loss, operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $54.9 million or 33.8% of revenue, compared to $61 million or 24.9% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2005 excluding restructuring and impairment charges of $27.5 million.

Operating loss was $39 million during the current quarter, compared to an operating loss of $28.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Net interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $14.1 million, compared to $14.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $45.6 million compared to a net loss of $22.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Sang Park, Chairman and CEO of MagnaChip Semiconductor, commented, “Since I took the office of CEO last May, we all have worked hard to turn around the company and rebuild our leadership momentum and product pipeline. As a result of our coordinated efforts, our three major businesses, SMS, Display Solutions, and Imaging Solutions, have begun to recover and now have a solid foundation on which to continue to improve. We expect production to ramp on key new programs in the second half of this year and we are seeing a high level of new customer activity. We are well-positioned to make 2007 the year of MagnaChip’s recovery and return to growth as we focus on bringing high-quality display and imaging solutions to market faster.”


Robert Krakauer, President and CFO of MagnaChip Semiconductor, said, “We are pleased with our cash generation during the quarter on excellent working capital management and that we exceeded our goals for manufacturing cost improvement. We have made considerable progress on our new product roadmap, with a product portfolio refreshment. This is critical to the company’s growth and success. As an example, we now have one of the few market solutions for digital auto focus. Customer feedback has been positive, and we are optimistic entering 2007. Our goal is to grow market share, drive revenue and profit growth, and strengthen our balance sheet as we regain our business momentum throughout the coming year.”

First Quarter 2007 Outlook

For the first quarter of 2007, the Company expects revenues to be down by 10% to 12% compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 reflecting lower seasonal demand and an inventory correction in the analog and power areas of our foundry business. The Company expects gross margins of 4 to 6% due to reduced loadings 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.
