MagnaChip Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results

SEOUL, South Korea and SAN JOSE, Calif., February, 17 2016 — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (“MagnaChip”) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $152.4 million, a 1.3% decline compared to $154.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, and down 9.1% compared to $167.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Foundry Services revenue in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $65.8 million and Standard Products Group revenue was $86.5 million. For the full year 2015, revenue was $633.7 million compared to $698.2 million for 2014, a 9.2% decrease.

Gross profit was $29.9 million, or 19.6% as a percent of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015. This compared with gross profit of $34.7 million, or 22.5%, for the third quarter of 2015 and $34.5 million, or 20.6%, for the fourth quarter of 2014. Foundry gross profit was 22.7% and Standard Products Group gross profit was 17.2% in the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full year 2015, gross profit was $134.9 million, or 21.3%, compared to $152.9 million, or 21.9%, for 2014.

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $22.9 million, or $0.66 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $57.1 million, or $1.65 per basic share, for the third quarter of 2015 and net loss of $63.8 million, or $1.87 per basic share, for the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income included a tax benefit and a foreign currency translation gain on intercompany loans payable as well as spending reductions. For the full year 2015, net loss was $84.9 million, or $2.47 per basic share, compared to $117.2 million or $3.44 per basic share, for 2014.

“Revenue in the fourth quarter was at the high end of our guidance range and gross margin was better than expected, driven primarily by an increase in demand for AMOLED display drivers consumed by smartphone makers in China,” said YJ Kim, Chief Executive Officer of MagnaChip. “Despite a weak macro environment, our foundry pipeline is filling, AMOLED demand is improving and our business is showing early signs of stabilizing.”

Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Kim commented, “During 2015, we embarked on a comprehensive plan to reduce total normalized spending by more than $40 million for the year. In fact, we far exceeded our goal and reduced total normalized spending by over $50 million, including approximately $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 alone. We will continue to explore opportunities to control spending in 2016.”

Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP measurement, for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $5.2 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, compared to an Adjusted Net Loss, a non-GAAP measurement, of $10.4 million, or $0.30 per basic share, in the third quarter of 2015 and an Adjusted Net Loss of $10.8 million, or $0.32 per basic share, for the fourth quarter of 2014. For the full year 2015, Adjusted Net Loss was $26.7 million, or $0.78 per basic share compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $38.1 million or $1.12 per basic share for 2014.


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. 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 following the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $90.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of $22.4 million from the end of the prior quarter primarily due to one-time receipts of pre-paid deposits for the planned sale of our 6” fab equipment and prepayment received for end-of-life products produced in our 6” fab.

As disclosed in MagnaChip’s 2015 proxy statement, the Board of Directors established a Strategic Review Committee (“SRC”) to assist the Board in reviewing, considering and evaluating strategic alternatives that may be available to MagnaChip. The SRC and the Board of Directors are still actively involved in an ongoing process of reviewing various strategic alternatives and will continue to evaluate alternatives consistent with their obligation to act in the best interest of stockholders. No decision has been made to enter into a transaction at this time and MagnaChip can offer no assurance that it will enter into any transaction in the future.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expenses (benefits), (iv) restructuring and impairment charges, (v) equity-based compensation expense, (vi) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (vii) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, and (viii) restatement related expenses.

We present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as a further supplemental measure of our performance. We prepare Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by adjusting net income 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) as net income adjusted to exclude (i) restructuring and impairment charges, (ii) equity-based compensation expense, (iii) amortization of intangibles, (iv) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (v) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, and (vi) restatement related expenses.
