Company to Become a Pure-Play Power Business To Drive Profitable Growth and Maximize Shareholder Value

-Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to monetize Display assets-

 

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr. 8, 2025– Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced that after a thorough review its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to shut down the Company’s Display business by the end of the second quarter of 2025. The Company had previously announced its intention to explore all strategic options for the Display business and to classify the Display business as discontinued operations when it reports Q1 results in May in order to focus as a pure-play Power discrete and Power IC company and to achieve profitable revenue growth and maximize shareholder value. However, the Company has not been able to consummate a transaction following several months of discussions with several interested parties on terms that the Company’s Board of Directors believed were in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Therefore, the Company has already begun notifying its customers impacted by this decision.

Shutting down the Display business will include the liquidation of Magnachip Mixed-Signal, Ltd. (“MMS”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary that operates the discontinued Display business. The Company will retain its Power IC business which had previously resided in MMS and now operates alongside the Company’s Power discrete business in Magnachip Semiconductor, Ltd. (“Magnachip Korea”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary that comprises the Power solutions business. Together, the Power IC and Power discrete businesses represent Magnachip’s going-forward continuing operations. The Company will maintain a small team to continue to support customers with respect to “end of life” (“EOL”) products. While Magnachip expects to shut down the Display business by the end of Q2, Magnachip will continue to evaluate opportunities to monetize Display assets.

Magnachip CEO YJ Kim said, “It was an extremely difficult decision to shut down our Display business when considering both our valued customers and employees. However, our first priority is to ensure Magnachip’s long-term success by achieving consistent profitability and earnings growth in order to maximize shareholder value. Navigating the unpredictable macroeconomic headwinds will likely pose significant challenges to all companies over the coming few quarters. At the same time, our strategic pivot to focus exclusively on Power discrete and Power IC businesses is designed to position the Company for a return to profitability. We aim to attain a quarterly Adjusted EBITDA* break-even from continuing operations by the end of this year. We also believe that this will pave the way for positive adjusted operating income* in 2026 and positive adjusted free cash flow* in 2027. Each of these targets will act as milestones towards achieving a goal in 3 years to reach a $300 million annual revenue run-rate with a 30% gross profit margin target. We call this our 3-3-3 strategy. Magnachip’s Power discrete and Power IC businesses generated $185 million in revenue in 2024, up 13% from 2023, and the Company expects mid-to-high-single digit revenue growth in 2025.”

Magnachip’s Chairman of the Board Camillo Martino commented, “Having concluded an in-depth review of our businesses, Magnachip’s Board of Directors made a unanimous decision to shut down the Display business in order to focus the Company on the revenue growth and profit potential of the Power discrete and Power IC businesses. We believe the actions announced today demonstrate the Board’s firm commitment to put Magnachip on the path to achieve profitable revenue growth, restore the Company back to profitability and to enhance shareholder value.”

The actions that are being undertaken by the Company in connection with the liquidation process are expected to result in a 30% to 35% reduction in annualized operating expenditures (excluding equity compensation charges) as compared with 2024. In addition, the Company will provide limited support for remaining customer obligations including the sale of EOL Display products, which will be conducted by Magnachip Korea.

* Non-GAAP measure. Please see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

The Company is unable at this time to provide an estimated amount or range of estimated amounts to be incurred or the future cash expenditures or charges that it will incur in connection with the shutdown of the Company’s Display business and the liquidation of MMS. The Company expects to disclose such costs promptly after the Company makes a determination of an estimate or range of estimates of the costs that are expected to be incurred in connection with the shutdown of the Display business and the liquidation of MMS.

 

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and adjusted free cash flow are considered Non-GAAP measures. 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 our 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 loss or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of historical GAAP results to Non-GAAP results can be found in our most recent earnings press release on the investor relations page of our website at https://investors.magnachip.com. We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for net foreign currency transaction gain or loss, less capital expenditures.

Following the consummation of the sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 in Q3 2020, we provided transitional foundry services to the buyer for foundry products manufactured in our fabrication facility located in Gumi, Korea, known as “Fab 3” (“Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services”). The contractual obligation to provide the Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services ended August 31, 2023, and we have wound down these foundry services and begun to convert portions of the idle capacity to PAS products during the second half of 2024. Because these foundry services during the wind-down period have still been provided to the same buyer by us using our Fab 3 based on mutually agreed terms and conditions, we continued to report our revenue from providing these foundry services and related cost of sales within the Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services line in our consolidated statement of operations until such wind down is completed. 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 MSS and PAS businesses.

(2)

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 our 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 loss or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of historical GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included in this press release. We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for net foreign currency transaction gain or loss, less capital expenditures.

 

Q1 and Full-year 2025 Financial Guidance

Beginning Q1 2025, the Company will become a pure-play Power company, with the display business classified as discontinued operations and reported separately from continuing operations, which will include PAS and Power IC business lines. While actual results may vary, Magnachip currently expects the following:

 

For Q1 2025:

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes Power discrete and Power IC businesses, and excludes our former Display business) to be in the range of $42 to $47 million, down 8.9% sequentially due primarily to seasonality, but up 11.5% year-over-year at the mid-point. This compares with equivalent revenue of $48.9 million in Q4 2024 and $39.9 million in Q1 2024.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations to be in the range of 18.5% to 20.5%, due to the seasonal sequential decline in revenue and the wind down of Transitional Foundry Services impacting fab utilization. This compares with equivalent gross profit margin of 23.2% in Q4 2024 and 17.6% in Q1 2024.

 

For the full-year 2025, which will set the stage to become a pure-play Power company, we currently expect:

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations to grow mid-to-high single digit year-over-year as compared with equivalent revenue of $185.8 million in 2024.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations between 19.5% to 21.5%, reflecting the fact that we have completed the wind down of Transitional Foundry Services and new generation power products will just begin production in the second half 2025. The equivalent gross profit margin was 21.5% in 2024.

 

Q4 2024 Earnings Conference Call

We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated as EBITDA (as defined below), adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) Impairment and other charges and (v) Early termination charges. EBITDA for the periods indicated is defined as net loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), net and depreciation and amortization.

We prepare Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by adjusting net 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. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the periods as net loss, adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) Impairment and other charges, (v) Early termination charges and (vi) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.

-Company exploring all strategic options for Display to focus on higher-profit potential of Power and Power IC products-

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced that after a thorough review, its Board of Directors and management team have made the decision to become a pure-play Power company to drive revenue growth, improve profitability, and maximize shareholder value. As a result, the Company is exploring all strategic options for its Display business, which will be classified as discontinued operations when the Company reports Q1 results in May. The Company’s strategic options include a sale, merger, joint venture, licensing, and wind-down. It expects to complete this strategic process and exit the Display business by the end of Q2 this year.

Magnachip CEO YJ Kim said, “It was an extremely difficult decision when considering both our valued customers and employees. However, our priority is to maximize shareholder value by achieving consistent profitability and earnings growth. By focusing on the Power business, we have a goal to achieve quarterly Adjusted EBITDA break-even by the end of Q4 2025 from continuing operations, followed by positive adjusted operating income in 2026, and positive adjusted free cash flow in 2027. Each of these goals helps reach our 3-3-3 Strategy of $300 million annual revenue run-rate with a 30% gross margin in three years.”

In contrast to the Display business, which serves primarily a single market in smartphones, the Power business serves a broad array of large end markets characterized by longer product cycles, and where industry growth rates tend to fluctuate less and be more predictable over the long term. Magnachip’s Power discrete and Power IC businesses generated $185 million in revenue in 2024, up 13% from 2023, and the Company expects mid-to-high-single digit revenue growth in 2025. Magnachip, which entered the Power business in 2007, announced today it is launching a pipeline of next-generation power products, including Gen 5 and Gen 6 IGBT, Gen 6 SuperJunction MOSFETs, and Gen 8 medium- and low-voltage MOSFETs. The company plans to launch over 40 new-generation power products in 2025, including 27 as mentioned in separate product announcements today. These innovative product families unlock the potential of new high-value market opportunities, such as automotive, industrial, AI, and high-current applications up to and greater than 100KW. The new products are expected to drive higher revenue per wafer, while optimizing the Company’s Gumi manufacturing facility.

In connection with the Company’s strategy to focus exclusively on its Power business, Magnachip expects to invest approximately $65-70 million over three years to optimize and upgrade the Company’s Gumi manufacturing facility. Magnachip recently disclosed it executed a $26.5 million Equipment Financial Credit Agreement, which provides for loans, secured by certain existing assets, to partially fund the Company’s capital expenditures. The loans feature an interest rate of 3.97%, which is adjusted quarterly, and a 10-year maturity, structured with an initial two year period of interest-only payments, followed by eight years of amortizing payments. These loans will help the Company invest in new equipment to upgrade and optimize its Gumi manufacturing facility, which the Company expects will have a positive impact on its product roadmap while also efficiently managing cash on the balance sheet.

Magnachip’s Chairman of the Board Camillo Martino commented, “Having concluded an in-depth review of our businesses, Magnachip’s Board of Directors and management team made a decision to focus the Company on the revenue growth and profit potential of the Power discrete and Power IC businesses. We believe that the action we’ve announced today demonstrates our commitment to maximize shareholder value. The Board is extremely disappointed and shares the frustration of investors over the Company’s financial performance, but we remain determined to put Magnachip on the path to achieve profitable revenue growth and restore the Company back to profitability.”

Magnachip Reports Results for Third Quarter 2024

Financial Highlights

  • Q3 consolidated revenue was $66.5 million, at the high-end of guidance range of $61.5-66.5 million.
    • Q3 standard product business revenue was up 25.9% sequentially.
  • Q3 consolidated gross profit margin of 23.3% was in-line with the mid-point of guidance range of 22.5-24.5%.
    • Q3 standard product business gross profit margin was 24.4%, up 1.3 percentage points sequentially.
  • Ended Q3 with cash of $121.1 million; and an additional non-redeemable short-term financial investment of $30 million.
  • Repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares for aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million during the quarter.

 

Operational Highlights

  • Broad-based sequential revenue growth in our PAS business was driven by leaner distribution channels and better-than-typical seasonality. Relative strength was more evident in industrial, computing, and consumer applications. Automotive continues to show strength with additional design wins in Japan and China.
  • Started initial DDIC production and shipments for a premium smartphone model from a leading China OEM.
  • Received a purchase order from a second leading China smartphone OEM and commenced shipments in October 2024.
  • Began sampling our new OLED driver designed with next-generation IP, including sub-pixel rendering (SPR), refined color enhancement, color filter, brightness uniformity control and more than 20% reduction in power consumption than previous generation.
  • Power IC revenue increased sequentially, driven primarily by demand for LCD TVs and OLED IT in tablets and notebooks.

 

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Oct. 30, 2024– Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter 2024.

YJ Kim, Magnachip’s CEO, commented, “Our Q3 revenue was at the high-end of guidance driven by broad-based growth in our Standard Product businesses, which is comprised of our MSS and PAS businesses. Standard Product revenue increased 25.9% sequentially and 24% year-over-year. Our discrete Power business benefited from leaner inventory in distribution channels as well as new product designs wins resulting in better-than-seasonal growth. In MSS, the strong sequential growth was due to increased demand for products targeted for China smartphone OEMs, automotive displays, and OLED IT.”

YJ Kim added, “Looking ahead, we expect our Standard Product business revenue in Q4 will modestly decline sequentially, which is better than typical seasonality experienced in past years. We reiterate our full-year guidance for double-digit growth in both MSS and PAS businesses in 2024.”

Following the consummation of the sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 in Q3 2020, we provided transitional foundry services to the buyer for foundry products manufactured in our fabrication facility located in Gumi, Korea, known as “Fab 3” (“Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services”). The contractual obligation to provide the Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services ended August 31, 2023, and we are winding down these foundry services and have begun to convert portions of the idle capacity to PAS products during the second half of 2024. Because these foundry services during the wind-down period are still provided to the same buyer by us using our Fab 3 based on mutually agreed terms and conditions, we will continue to report our revenue from providing these foundry services and related cost of sales within the Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services line in our consolidated statement of operations until such wind down is completed. 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 MSS and PAS businesses.

(2)

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 our 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 loss 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.

 

Q4 and Full-year 2024 Financial Guidance

Beginning in Q1 of 2024, the Company began reporting results under its newly organized businesses: MSS (Mixed-Signal Solutions) and PAS (Power Analog Solutions). While actual results may vary, Magnachip currently expects the following:

For Q4 2024:

  • Consolidated revenue to be in the range of $59.0 to $64.0 million, including approximately $2.0 million of Transitional Foundry Services.
    • MSS revenue to be in the range of $15 to $17 million, down 2.7% sequentially but up 87% year-over-year at the mid-point. This compares with MSS revenue of $16.4 million in Q3 2024 and MSS equivalent revenue of $8.6 million in Q4 2023.
    • PAS revenue to be in the range of $42 to $45 million, down 8.6% sequentially but up 33.3% year-over-year at the mid-point. This compares with PAS revenue of $47.6 million in Q3 2024 and PAS equivalent revenue of $32.6 million in Q4 2023.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin to be in the range of 21.5% to 23.5%.
    • MSS gross profit margin to be in the range of 37.5% to 40.5%. This compares with MSS gross profit margin of 38.7% in Q3 2024 and MSS equivalent gross profit margin of 41.3% in Q4 2023.
    • PAS gross profit margin to be in the range of 17% to 19%. This compares with PAS gross profit margin of 19.4% in Q3 2024 and PAS equivalent gross profit margin of 18.1% in Q4 2023.

 

For the full-year 2024, we currently expect:

  • MSS revenue to grow double digits year-over-year as compared with MSS equivalent revenue of $44.4 million in 2023, consistent with what we communicated throughout the year.
  • PAS revenue to grow double digits year-over-year as compared with PAS equivalent revenue of $151.3 million in 2023, consistent with what we communicated throughout the year.
  • Transitional Foundry Services revenue will be wound down by the end of 2024, as expected. We expect any remaining amounts to be immaterial beyond Q4 2024.
  • Consolidated revenue flattish, as compared to our prior expectation of flattish-to-slightly down.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin between 21% to 22%, as compared to our prior expectation of 19% to 22%. This compares with the consolidated gross profit margin of 22.4% in 2023.

 

Q3 2024 Earnings Conference Call

Magnachip will host a corresponding conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, to discuss its financial results.

We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated as EBITDA (as defined below), adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net and (iv) Early termination and other charges. EBITDA for the periods indicated is defined as net loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization.

We prepare Adjusted Net Loss by adjusting net 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 Loss is particularly useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance. We define Adjusted Net Loss for the periods as net loss, adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) Early termination and other charges and (v) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded in our consolidated statement of operations $8,449 thousand of termination related charges in connection with the voluntary resignation program that we offered to certain employees during the first quarter of 2023. During the same period, we also recorded $802 thousand of one-time employee incentives.
