MagnaChip Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

— 15% Sequential Revenue Growth Driven by Strong Demand Across the Board —

SEOUL, South Korea and SAN JOSE, Calif., October 27, 2016 — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (“MagnaChip” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $192.3 million, an increase of 15.1% compared to $167.1 million for the second quarter of 2016, and up 24.6% as compared to $154.4 million for the third quarter of 2015. The increase in sequential revenue was 4% higher than the top end of prior guidance and reflected across-the-board strength in customer demand for the Company’s foundry services, display and power products.

Foundry Services revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $73.9 million, a sequential increase of 18.5%, marking the third consecutive quarter of growth. Revenue in the Standard Products Group was $118.3 million, a 13.1% sequential increase and the fourth consecutive quarter of growth. Standard Product Group revenue in the third quarter was at its highest level since 2012 and Foundry Services revenue rebounded to mid-2015 levels.

Gross profit was $39.1 million, or 20.4% as a percent of revenue for the third quarter of 2016. This compared with gross profit of $36.7 million, or 22.0%, for the second quarter of 2016 and $34.7 million, or 22.5%, for the third quarter of 2015. Foundry gross profit was 23.5% and Standard Products Group gross profit was 18.3% in the third quarter of 2016.

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $29.9 million or $0.86 per basic share and $0.85 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $17.8 million or $0.51 per basic share for the second quarter of 2016 and a net loss of $57.1 million or $1.65 per basic share for the third quarter of 2015. Net income in the third quarter of 2016 was attributable primarily to a non-cash foreign exchange gain on the Company’s intercompany loans.

“Demand was strong across the board in the third quarter, with our Power, Display and Foundry businesses each recording a double digit gain in revenue as compared with the prior quarter,” said YJ Kim, Chief Executive Officer of MagnaChip. “Our foundry business was especially strong, and our fab utilization climbed to the highest level in more than three years.”

In commenting on the third quarter, Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Kim said, “We continued to execute on our strategy to increase fab utilization in order to reduce unit costs and prudently manage cash flows.” Mr. Kim added, “We now are implementing a comprehensive plan to improve gross profit margin.”

Adjusted Net Loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $1.3 million or $0.04 per basic share, compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $1.9 million or $0.05 per basic share in the second quarter of 2016, and compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $10.4 million or $0.30 per basic share in the third quarter of 2015.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, can provide a meaningful understanding of the factors and trends affecting MagnaChip’s business and operations and assist in evaluating our core operating performance. However, such non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included in this press release.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $75.4 million at the end of the 2016 third quarter, down from $83.9 million at the end of our 2016 second quarter.


As previously announced, the Board of Directors has established a Strategic Review Committee (“SRC”) to assist the Board in reviewing, considering and evaluating strategic alternatives that may be available to MagnaChip, including the potential sale of all or a substantial portion of the Company. The SRC continues to evaluate strategic alternatives but is not currently engaged in an active process of considering alternatives for the sale of the entire Company. The SRC will consider any strategic opportunities that arise in the future.

We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (loss) as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated as EBITDA (as defined below), adjusted to exclude (i) restructuring and other, (ii) equity-based compensation expense, (iii) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iv) derivative valuation loss, net and (v) restatement related expenses. EBITDA for the periods indicated is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expenses and depreciation and amortization. We prepare Adjusted Net Income (loss) by adjusting net income (loss) to eliminate the impact of a number of non-cash expenses and other items that may be either one time or recurring that we do not consider to be indicative of our core ongoing operating performance. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (loss) is particularly useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance. We define Adjusted Net Income (loss) for the periods as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) restructuring and other, (ii) equity-based compensation expense, (iii) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iv) derivative valuation loss, net, and (v) restatement related expenses.
