Third Quarter Results

Seoul, South Korea, October 25, 2007 – MagnaChip Semiconductor today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $200 million, compared to $171.3 million in the third quarter of 2006.

Gross margin was $31.3 million or 15.6% of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $ 20.9 million or 12.2% of revenue for the third quarter of 2006.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2007 were $57.0 million or 28.5% of revenue, compared to $55.1 million or 32.2% of revenue for the third quarter of 2006.

Operating loss was $25.7 million during the current quarter, compared to an operating loss of $34.2 million in the prior year quarter.

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2007 was $15.3 million, compared to $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2006.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $38.8 million, compared to a net loss of $47.7 million in the third quarter of 2006.

On October 1, 2007 MagnaChip filed a Form 8-K with the SEC detailing the amendment of its exisiting credit facility.

Sang Park, Chairman and CEO of MagnaChip Semiconductor, commented, “We are pleased with how the third quarter developed. Revenue came in above prior guidance, which called for flat revenue in the third quarter compared to $194.1 million in the second quarter. We saw continued improvements in design wins and product development, as our operational execution continued to strengthen. As a company, we remain highly focused on delivering distinctive mixed signal and analog product and service solutions to our customers and on making 2007 the year of MagnaChip’s recovery. Going forward, we expect to benefit from share gains at current and new customer accounts and from seasonal holiday demand increases.”

Robert Krakauer, President and CFO of MagnaChip Semiconductor, said, “As with last quarter, the overachievement of our financial targets is a result of operational changes made some time ago. You are now seeing the continued and consistent results from a more rigorous new product introduction process, quality process and attention to our key customers needs. As we go forward, we expect improved utilization rates and ongoing cost management initiatives to translate into improved financial performance, as we capture the operating leverage in our business model.”

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.
