Magnachip Reports Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results

— Power Solutions Revenue Increased 14% Sequentially, 21% Year-Over-Year
— Display Solutions Revenue Increased 6% Sequentially, 5% Year-Over-Year
— Achieved GAAP EPS of $1.24 and Adjusted EPS of $0.76 Per Diluted Share

SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $217.8 million, a 1.2% increase compared to $215.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 and a 1.8% decrease compared to $221.9 million for the third quarter of 2012.

Gross margin was $71.9 million or 33.0%, as a percent of revenue, for the third quarter of 2013. This compares to gross margin of $71.0 million or 33.0% for the second quarter of 2013 and $76.4 million or 34.5% for the third quarter of 2012.

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $46.7 million or $1.24 per diluted share. This compares to a net income of $4.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013 and a net income of $48.4 million or $1.30 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012. Net income was impacted primarily by a foreign currency gain of $43.3 million during the quarter which was primarily related to the non-cash foreign currency translation of intercompany balances that were denominated in U.S. dollars.

“We are pleased to have delivered results that met our financial guidance for the eleventh consecutive quarter. We met our revenue and gross margin guidance through a combination of product and customer diversification and the successful launch of a new product line for our Power Solutions Division,” said Sang Park, MagnaChip Chairman and CEO. “Our smartphone related revenue grew quarter-to-quarter due to the expansion of AMOLED display drivers in high-end smartphones and from an increase of sales to mid- to low-end smartphone customers.”

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement, for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $28.6 million or $0.76 per diluted share compared to $26.2 million or $0.71 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013 and $30.4 million or $0.81 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012.

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. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included following the financial statements.

Combined cash balances (cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash) totaled $158.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $34.4 million from the end of the prior quarter. Cash provided from operations totaled approximately $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2013.

Third Quarter and Recent Company Highlights
– Repurchased $25 Million or 1,213,517 Shares under MagnaChip’s 2013 Stock Repurchase Program.
– Eleventh Consecutive Quarter of Meeting or Exceeding Financial Guidance.
– Completed Secondary Offering of 1.7 Million Shares of Common Stock.

Business Outlook
– For the fourth quarter of 2013, MagnaChip expects:
– Revenue will be in the range of $193 million to $203 million.
– Gross margin will be 29.0% to 31.0% as a percent of revenue.

SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., July 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $215.3 million, a 4.9% increase compared to $205.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 and a 6.2% increase compared to $202.6 million for the second quarter of 2012.

Gross margin was $71.0 million or 33.0%, as a percent of revenue, for the second quarter of 2013. This compares to gross margin of $65.7 million or 32.0% for the first quarter of 2013 and $62.9 million or 31.0% for the second quarter of 2012.

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $4.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $7.4 million or $0.21 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013 and a net income of $4.3 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.

“We delivered solid results in the second quarter. Revenue of $215.3 million dollars was up 4.9% sequentially and up 6.2% year-over-year. Gross margin of 33.0% was up 100 basis points compared to last quarter and up 200 basis points compared to Q2 of last year,” said Sang Park, MagnaChip Chairman and CEO. “We’re excited that our effort to focus on fast growing markets with our expanding list of innovative partners has enabled us to deliver ten consecutive quarters of meeting or exceeding our financial guidance, in spite of the recent soft demand from high-end smartphone makers.”

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement, for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $26.2 million or $0.71 per diluted share compared to $19.7 million or $0.53 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013 and $17.9 million or $0.48 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.

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. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included following the financial statements.

Combined cash balances (cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash) totaled $192.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $9.6 million from the end of the prior quarter. Cash provided from operations totaled approximately $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2013.

SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., July 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (“MagnaChip”) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, announced today that it has priced a private offering of $225 million of its 6.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.5% of principal amount. The offering is expected to close on July 18, 2013.

The net proceeds of this offering will be used to redeem all of its subsidiaries’ outstanding $203.7 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.500% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”), including applicable premium and accrued interest, and to pay transaction fees and expenses related to the offering.

As a result, they may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. Accordingly, the 2021 Notes will be offered and sold only to “qualified institutional buyers” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act or, outside the United States, to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. A confidential offering memorandum will be made available to such eligible holders. The offering will be conducted in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offering memorandum.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the 2021 Notes, nor shall there be any sales of 2021 Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
