MagnaChip Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Q3 News Summary

 

    Revenue of $176.7 million at the higher end of guidance range despite power outage in August

 

    28.5% gross profit margin at highest level in more than 4 years

 

    Foundry gross profit margin increases to 30.3%; fab utilization remains above 90%

 

    Power Standard Products revenue of $39.0 million at highest level since Q4 2013

 

    OLED Display Driver IC business resumed growth; OLED revenue increased 15.6% sequentially

SEOUL, South Korea and SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2017 — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, (NYSE: MX), today announced revenue for the third quarter of $176.7 million, gross profit margin of 28.5%, net income of $5.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $24.7 million or 14.0% of revenue. Gross profit margin and Adjusted EBITDA both were at the highest quarterly levels in more than four years.

CEO Commentary: “Revenue in the third quarter came in at the higher end of the previous guidance range despite a power outage in August that temporarily halted production at our larger fab and caused wafers-in-process to be scrapped,” said YJ Kim, Chief Executive Officer. “We recovered from that incident in a timely manner, and our standard product business lines recorded double digit-sequential revenue growth in the third quarter. Foundry revenue was generally flattish quarter over quarter, but gross profit margin for the Foundry business increased 1.6 percentage points to 30.3%. The Company continued to benefit from an improving product mix and a strong product pipeline.”

On OLED: “We had forecasted earlier in the year that our OLED business would likely bottom in the second quarter of 2017 and resume revenue growth in the third quarter. I’m pleased to report that revenue from OLED display driver ICs increased 15.6% sequentially in the third quarter. Based on our current visibility and insight about multiple new smartphone introductions, we currently anticipate that we have the potential to generate OLED revenue that will exceed 50% growth or clearly exceed $100 million in 2018.”

CFO Commentary: “Our improved financial results demonstrate the success of business strategies and initiatives we’ve implemented, and reflect the decisive steps we’ve taken to reduce our cost structure, streamline operations and strengthen the balance sheet,” said Jonathan Kim, Chief Financial Officer. “We remain fully committed to focus on the overall profitability of MagnaChip and to invest in future initiatives to fuel profitable revenue growth.”

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

Total Revenue

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was $176.7 million, down 8.1% from the third quarter a year ago, and up 6.0% as compared to $166.7 million for the second quarter of 2017. Total revenue in the third quarter was at the higher end of our previous guidance range of $172-178 million.

Segment Revenue

Foundry revenue in the third quarter was $80.4 million, up 8.9% year-over year and down 1.4% from $81.5 million in the prior quarter. Standard Products Group revenue in the third quarter was $96.2 million, down 18.7% year-over- year, and an increase of 13.1% sequentially, which primarily reflected changes in the mobile OLED business in both periods.

Total Gross Profit

Total gross profit in the third quarter of 2017 was $50.3 million or 28.5% million as compared with gross profit of $39.1 million or 20.4% in the third quarter of 2016 and $46.7 million or 28.0% gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2017. Gross profit margin in the third quarter was at the highest level in more than four years and primarily reflected improved product mix, reduction in manufacturing headcount and high fab utilization.

Segment Gross Profit Margin

Foundry Services Group gross profit margin was 30.3% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared with 23.5% in the third quarter of 2016 and 28.7% in the second quarter of 2017. The Standard Products Group gross profit margin was 26.9% in the third quarter of 2017 as compared with 18.3% in the third quarter of 2016 and 27.2% in the second quarter of 2017.

Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the third quarter was $5.6 million or $0.16 per basic share and $0.15 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $29.9 million or $0.86 per basic share and $0.85 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2016, and compared with a net loss of $8.1 million or $0.24 per basic share in the second quarter of 2017.

Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the third quarter of 2017, totaled $11.4 million or $0.33 per basic share and $0.28 per diluted share, as compared with Adjusted Net Loss of $1.3 million or $0.04 per basic share in the third quarter of 2016, and compared with Adjusted Net Income of $7.8 million or $0.23 per basic share and $0.21 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in the third quarter was $24.7 million or 14.0% of revenue, as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $10.0 million or 5.2% of revenue in the third quarter of 2016, and compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million or 12.2% of revenue in the second quarter of 2017.

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 $128.4 million at the end of the third quarter, a decrease of $3.1 million from $131.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2017.

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.
