SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) ("Magnachip" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the second quarter 2021.

"Despite sustained demand across our product portfolio, our Display business revenue was negatively impacted by severe supply constraints that continued to deepen in the second quarter. Global shortages in manufacturing capacities, as well as changes in our foundry partners' wafer allocation plans, limit our ability to meet customers' needs. This revenue decline, however, was partially offset by the strong performance in our Power business that achieved record-setting quarterly revenue for the second consecutive quarter. Gross profit margin expanded to 29.8% due to the high utilization rate at our Fab 3, coupled with an improved product mix under a favorable pricing environment. We continue to work closely with our strategic customers and foundry partners to secure long-term supply capacity for OLED DDICs, being mindful of the fact that global supply constraints are having a significant impact on our OLED business." said YJ Kim, Magnachip's chief executive officer.

Due to the pending merger with an investment vehicle formed by an affiliate of Wise Road Capital LTD pursuant to a definitive agreement executed on March 25, 2021, Magnachip is not hosting a quarterly earnings conference call and has suspended the practice of providing forward-looking guidance. Please review the 'Investors' section of the Company's website for the quarterly financial results and SEC filings for the latest updates on the pending transaction.

(1)	Following the consummation of the sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 in Q3 2020, and for a period of up to three years, the Company will provide transitional foundry services to the buyer for foundry products manufactured in the Company's fabrication facility located in Gumi ("Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services"). Management believes that disclosing revenue of Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services separately from the standard products business allows investors to better understand the results of our core standard products display solutions and power solutions businesses.

(2)	In Q2 and Q1 2021, respectively, operating income (loss) included non-recurring professional fees and certain transaction related expenses of $2.5 million and $9.8 million in connection with a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") that the Company entered into with South Dearborn Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability ("Parent"), formed by an affiliate of Wise Road Capital LTD, and Michigan Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent ("Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company continuing its corporate existence as the surviving corporation in the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

(3)	Non-GAAP financial measures are calculated based on the results from continuing operations. 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 from continuing operations 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.

We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated as EBITDA (as defined below), adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Other charges, (iii) Foreign currency loss (gain), net and (iv) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net. EBITDA for the periods indicated is defined as Income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization.

We present Adjusted Net Income by adjusting income (loss) from continuing operations 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 is particularly useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance. We define Adjusted Net Income for the periods as income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Other charges, (iii) Foreign currency loss (gain), net and (iv) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net.
