MagnaChip Reports Strong Second Quarter 2010
Financial Results
SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., July 28, 2010 — MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC (“MagnaChip Semiconductor”) today announced solid financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $194.7 million, an 8.5% increase compared to $179.5 million for the first quarter of 2010, and a 39.4% increase compared to $139.7 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009. Revenue exceeded the top end of the Company’s expectations due to continued strong demand for its diverse mixed-signal analog products from its Semiconductor Manufacturing Services division and accelerated sales growth in the company’s Power Solutions division.
Gross profit was $64.5 million or 33.1%, as a percent of revenue, for the second quarter of 2010. This compares to gross profit of $49.4 million or 27.5% for the first quarter of 2010 and $48.3 million or 34.6% for the year-ago quarter. During the second quarter, gross profit was positively impacted by improved factory utilization at the Company’s wafer fabrication facilities as well as a favorable mix shift to higher margin products in our Display and Power Solution business segments.
“We are very encouraged by the strength of the order patterns across all our product lines,” said Sang Park, MagnaChip’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered solid financial results this quarter, exceeded the upper end of our revenue expectations and are well positioned to continue to capitalize on the improving global semiconductor market.”
The Company continues to prudently manage operating expenses. Combined SG&A and R&D expenses were $36.5 million or 18.8% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $38.4 million or 21.4% for the first quarter of 2010 and $34.6 million or 24.8% for the year-ago quarter.
Operating income was $27.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 or 14.3% of revenue. This compares to operating income of $10.6 million or 5.9% of revenue for the first quarter of 2010 and $13.4 million or 9.6% of revenue for the second quarter of 2009.
Net loss, on a GAAP basis, for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $30.7 million or $0.10 per diluted common unit. This compares to net income of $31.1 million or $0.10 per diluted common unit for the first quarter of 2010 and net income of $27.6 million or $0.46 per diluted common unit for the year-ago quarter. Net loss, for the second quarter of 2010, was negatively impacted by a foreign currency loss of $48.3 million compared to a foreign currency gain

 


 

of $21.6 million and $30.8 million for the first quarter of 2010 and second quarter of 2009, respectively. A substantial portion of the net foreign currency exposure is related to non-cash translations gains or losses recorded for intercompany borrowings at our Korea subsidiary that are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement, for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $25.7 million compared to $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, and an Adjusted net income of $5.0 million for the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $43.8 million compared to $28.7 million for the first quarter of 2010, and $29.2 million for the second quarter of 2009.
Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, can provide a more meaningful understanding of the factors and trends affecting MagnaChip’s business and operations. 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.
Combined cash balances (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments) totaled $141.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $58.6 million from the end of the prior quarter. Cash provided from operations totaled approximately $36.0 million for the second quarter of 2010. This compares to $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2010 and $25.2 million for the second quarter of 2009.

We present Adjusted Net Income as a further supplemental measure of our performance. We prepare Adjusted Net Income 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 is particularly useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance.
