Second Quarter Results

Seoul, South Korea, July 26, 2007 – MagnaChip Semiconductor today announced results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2007.

Sang Park, Chairman and CEO of MagnaChip Semiconductor, commented, “The second quarter came in better than our guidance, with revenues rising 28% from the first quarter. This improvement is the result of design wins, enhanced new product development, and strong operational execution, all of which contributed to achievement of share gains at current and new customer accounts. We remain focused on growth and making 2007 the year of MagnaChip’s recovery, as we focus on bringing high-quality display solutions, imaging solutions, and foundry services to the market faster.”

Revenue for the three months ended July 1, 2007 was $194.1 million, compared to $197.6 million in the second quarter of 2006.

Gross margin was $27.8 million or 14.3% of revenue for the quarter ended July 1, 2007, compared to $ 20.3 million or 10.3% of revenue for the second quarter of 2006.

Operating expenses were $70.1 million in the current quarter. This included $13.4 million in special charges, which were composed of $12.1 million in restructuring and impairment charges for the company’s oldest wafer fabrication facility and a $1.3 million legal settlement. Excluding special charges, operating expenses for the second quarter of 2007 were $56.8 million or 29.3% of revenue, compared to $56.0 million or 28.3% of revenue for the second quarter of 2006.

Operating loss was $42.4 million during the quarter. Excluding the special charges, the operating loss for the second quarter of 2007 was $29.0 million compared to $35.7 million before special charges in the prior year’s second quarter.

Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $15.0 million, compared to $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2006.

Net loss for the three months ended July 1, 2007 was $45.3 million. Excluding special charges, the loss was $31.9 million, compared to a net loss of $38.4 million excluding special charges in the prior year second quarter

Robert Krakauer, President and CFO of MagnaChip Semiconductor, said, “Our new product development and operational execution continue to improve. All three of our business segments showed significant growth quarter over quarter. As we drive for profitability, we are continuing our efforts to increase our productivity, including both rationalization of older facilities and upgrade of our 8 inch wafer capacity and process technology to support new customer design wins.”


Outlook

The Company expects revenue for the third quarter ending September 30, 2007 to be flat compared to the second quarter of 2007. Revenue is expected to rise again significantly in the fourth quarter of 2007, as design wins hit large scale production volume and seasonal holiday demand increases.

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.
