CEO Comments from YJ Kim:
“Revenue in the second quarter far exceeded previous guidance due to record demand for our OLED display drivers coupled with a higher-than-expected number of launches of OLED smartphones, primarily in China. Our OLED revenue in Q2 quadrupled from the second quarter a year ago and increased 81.3% sequentially. Given our current business visibility, OLED revenue in 2018 is expected to exceed the previous record of $161.0 million set in 2016. Revenue in the Power standard products business increased by double digits year-over-year, while new product revenue in our Foundry business increased by 17% year over year. Both Foundry and Power businesses recorded a sequential increase in revenue in Q2 as compared to Q1 2018.”

CFO Comments from Jonathan Kim:
“Key financial metrics showed continued improvement in the second quarter, driven primarily by higher-than-expected revenue. Revenue, gross profit dollars, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA, all showed double-digit percentage gains year-over-year, as well as sequentially. Operating income, Adjusted EBITDA and gross profit increased 88.6%, 51.7%, and 20.8% sequentially, and the Company remains committed to show improvement in gross profit over time. Our improved financial performance helped MagnaChip achieve positive free cash flow of $17.3 million in the second quarter as compared to negative free cash flow in the same year-ago period. We anticipate that we will continue to generate positive free cash flow for the second half of 2018.”

Second Quarter Financial Review
Total Revenue

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $199.7 million, up 19.8% as compared to reported revenue of $166.7 million from the second quarter of 2017, and up 20.4% from $165.8 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Segment Revenue and Segment Adjustments
In January 2018, as part of the Company’s ongoing portfolio optimization effort to realign business processes and streamline the organizational structure, the Company transferred a portion of the non-OLED Display business, which was $4.4 million for Q1 2018 and $3.7 million for Q2 2018, from the Standard Products Group to the Foundry Services Group. As a result, the historical financial results below are discussed both on an as reported and as adjusted basis for comparative purposes.

Foundry Services Group revenue in the second quarter was $80.9 million, down 0.8% from reported revenue of $81.5 million from the second quarter of 2017, and up 4.5% from the first quarter of 2018 on an as reported basis; and down 7.6% from the second quarter of 2017, and down 3.2% from the first quarter of 2017 on an as adjusted basis.

Following the strategic realignment and portfolio optimization discussed above, Standard Products Group revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $118.7 million, up 39.6% year-over-year on a reported basis and up 34.4% sequentially; and up 50.2% year-over-year on an as adjusted basis. The improved results in the Standard Products Group reflected a sharp improvement in mobile OLED driver revenue in connection with the introduction of new OLED smartphones from China manufacturers, and higher demand for premium Power products.

Total Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Total gross profit in the second quarter of 2018 was $53.9 million or 27.0% as a percentage of sales as compared with gross profit of $46.7 million or 28.0% gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2017, and $44.6 million or 26.9% gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2018.

Segment Gross Profit Margin
Foundry Services Group gross profit margin was 27.4% in the second quarter of 2018 as compared with, on an as reported basis, 28.7% in the second quarter of 2017 and 26.7% in the first quarter of 2018. The Foundry Services Group gross profit margin was, on an as adjusted basis, 28.2% in the second quarter of 2017 and 27.9% in the first quarter of 2017. The Standard Products Group gross profit margin was 26.6% in the second quarter of 2018 as compared with, on an as reported basis, 27.2% in the second quarter of 2017, and 27.2% in the first quarter of 2018. The Standard Products Group gross profit margin was, on an adjusted basis, 27.7% in the second quarter of 2017, and 23.3% in the first quarter of 2017.

Operating Income, Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA
Operating income, on a GAAP basis, for the second quarter was $13.9 million as compared with $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Net loss on a GAAP basis, for the second quarter was $21.5 million or $0.62 per basic and diluted share as compared with a net loss of $8.1 million or $0.24 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2017, and net income of $2.8 million or $0.08 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2018. The net loss in the second quarter of 2018 was attributable primarily to a non-cash foreign exchange loss on the Company’s intercompany loans.

Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $8.9 million or $0.26 per basic share and $0.23 per diluted share, as compared with Adjusted Net Income of $7.8 million or $0.23 per basic share and $0.21 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017, and compared with Adjusted Net Income of $1.4 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in the second quarter was $23.5 million or 11.8% of revenue, as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million or 12.2% of revenue in the second quarter of 2017, and compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $15.5 million or 9.3% of revenue in the first quarter of 2018.

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 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.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $131.7 million at the end of the second quarter, up from $123.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2018.

Magnachip Reports First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

SEOUL, South Korea and SAN JOSE, Calif., April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2018.

Q1 2018 Summary
• Revenue of $165.8 million exceeded the high-end of $158-164 million guidance range; revenue increased 2.5% YoY
• OLED display driver revenue of $34.3 million increased 112% YoY and 141% from Q4 2017; achieved 10 new design wins for
OLED display drivers
• Gross profit margin of 26.9% in line with 26-28% guidance range; gross profit margin increased by 1.2 percentage points YoY and
gross profit dollars increased 7.2% YoY
• Operating income of $7.4 million increased 15.9% YoY
• Adjusted EBITDA of $15.5 million increased 18.4% YoY

CEO Comments: “Revenue in the first quarter exceeded expectations, fueled by a sharp rebound in demand for our mobile OLED display drivers from smartphone makers, primarily in China,” said YJ Kim, Chief Executive Officer. “When we reported Q4 2017 financial results in February, we stated that OLED revenue in Q1 2018 had the potential to increase sequentially by more than 75%, and expressed confidence that OLED revenue was on track to exceed 50% growth in 2018 as compared to 2017 or clearly exceed $100 million for the full year. In fact, our OLED revenue in Q1 increased 141% sequentially and, based upon our current business visibility, we now anticipate OLED revenue growth in 2018 will surpass our previous targets.” CEO Kim added, “During Q1, MagnaChip secured a total of 10 new OLED design wins from smartphone makers in China and elsewhere in Asia, and sampled a new third-generation 40-nanometer rigid bezel-less OLED display driver that already has won design-in by a leading smartphone maker for a device targeted to the mainstream market in the second half of 2018.”

CFO Comments: “Key financial indicators in the first quarter compared favorably with results achieved in the same year-ago period despite previously disclosed headwinds, including higher raw wafer costs and typical seasonal weakness.” said Jonathan Kim, Chief Financial Officer. Revenue in Q1 2018 increased 2.5% as compared to Q1 2017, gross profit margin improved by 1.2 percentage points, gross margin dollars increased by 7.2%, operating income rose 15.9% and Adjusted EBITDA was higher by 18.4% as compared to the first quarter a year ago. Revenue from lower-margin products in the non-OLED portion of the Display business line decreased in Q1 due to a strategic portfolio optimization initiative to improve product mix and profitability over time. CFO Kim added, “Our results in Q1 demonstrated our ongoing commitment to focus on achieving profitable growth.”

First Quarter Financial Review
Total Revenue
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2018 was $165.8 million, up 2.5% as compared to $161.7 million from the first quarter of 2017, and down 5.0% from the fourth quarter of 2017.

Segment Revenue and Segment Adjustments
In January 2018, as part of the Company’s ongoing portfolio optimization effort to realign business processes and streamline the organizational structure, the Company transferred a portion of the non-OLED Display business, which was $4.4 million for Q1 2018, from the Standard Products Group to the Foundry Services Group. The transferred non-OLED Display business has characteristics more closely aligned with the Foundry business than with Standard Products and resided within the Display business line primarily as a result of a long standing customer relationship established many years ago. The historical financial results below are discussed both on an as reported and as adjusted basis for comparative purposes.

Foundry Services Group revenue in the first quarter was $77.4 million, about flat with reported revenue of $77.5 million from the first quarter of 2017, and down 4.0% from the fourth quarter of 2017 on an as reported basis; and down 7.3% from the first quarter of 2017, and down 14.2% from the fourth quarter of 2017 on an as adjusted basis.

Following the strategic realignment and portfolio optimization discussed above, Standard Products Group revenue in the first quarter of 2018 was $88.4 million, up 5.0% year-over-year and down 5.9% sequentially on an as reported basis; and up 13.1% year-over-year and up 4.8% sequentially on an as adjusted basis. The improved results in the Standard Products Group reflected an improvement in mobile OLED driver revenue in connection with the introduction of new OLED smartphones from China manufacturers, higher demand for MOSFETS for mobile battery and television products, despite lower LCD display driver revenue. The sequential revenue decline in Q1 2018 as compared with the fourth quarter of 2017 stemmed primarily from a previously announced strategic plan to reduce business from lower-margin LCD display drivers in the Standard Products Group.

Total Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Total gross profit in the first quarter of 2018 was $44.6 million or 26.9% as a percentage of sales as compared with gross profit of $41.6 million or 25.7% gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2017, and $49.4 million or 28.3% gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Segment Gross Profit Margin
Foundry Services Group gross profit margin was 26.7% in the first quarter of 2018 as compared with, on an as reported basis, 28.5% in the first quarter of 2017 and 31.7% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Foundry Services Group gross profit margin was, on an as adjusted basis, 27.9% in the first quarter of 2017 and 30.4% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Standard Products Group gross profit margin was 27.2% in the first quarter of 2018 as compared with, on an as reported basis, 23.1% in the first quarter of 2017, and 25.3% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Standard Products Group gross profit margin was, on an adjusted basis, 23.3% in the first quarter of 2017, and 26.0% in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Operating Income, Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA
Operating income, on a GAAP basis, for the first quarter was $7.4 million, as compared with $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, and $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the first quarter was $2.8 million or $0.08 per basic share and diluted share, as compared with net income on a GAAP basis of $43.7 million or $1.30 per basic share and $1.05 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2017, and compared with net income of $43.7 million or $1.28 per basic share and $0.99 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the first quarter of 2018 totaled $1.4 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, as compared with Adjusted Net Income of $0.5 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2017, and compared with Adjusted Net Income of $9.1 million or $0.27 per basic share and $0.23 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in the first quarter was $15.5 million or 9.3% of revenue, as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $13.1 million or 8.1% of revenue in the first quarter of 2017, and compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $20.5 million or 11.8% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2017.

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 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.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $123.1 million at the end of the first quarter, down from $128.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017.

CEO Comments:
“Revenue and gross profit margin in the fourth quarter topped the mid-point of our guidance range despite a typically soft seasonal period, a slowdown in the China smartphone market that affected our Display business, and an industry-wide increase in wafer prices that began in the second half of 2017, which kept a lid on gross profit,” said YJ Kim, Chief Executive Officer.

“Revenue in our Foundry and Power businesses edged higher sequentially in the fourth quarter, while revenue in the Display business, including OLED drivers, declined due to general market factors.” Mr. Kim said, “Based upon our current business visibility, we anticipate a sharp rebound and steep growth in our OLED business in the first quarter of 2018 and remain confident that our OLED revenue this year is on track to exceed 50% growth as compared to 2017 or clearly exceed $100 million.” CEO Kim added, “Overall, we made significant operational progress across the board in 2017 and have set a solid foundation for MagnaChip’s growth in 2018.”

CFO Comments:
“Gross profit margin of 27.6% for the 2017 calendar year increased approximately 5 percentage points over 2016, operating income of $39.2 million increased substantially from $2.7 million in 2016, and Adjusted EBITDA of $78.7 million increased 93.3% from $40.7 million in 2016,” said Jonathan Kim, Chief Financial Officer. “The sharp improvement in our financial results stemmed primarily from the success of our business strategy to improve product mix, achieve a higher utilization rate, increase manufacturing efficiencies and reduce expenses by implementing a substantial headcount reduction plan.” CFO Kim added, “We remain fully committed in 2018 to focus on the overall profitability of MagnaChip, continue to optimize our product portfolio, and to manage the business in order to maximize opportunities for revenue growth.”

The Standard Products Group gross profit margin was 25.3% in the fourth quarter of 2017 as compared with 21.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 26.9% in the third quarter of 2017.

Operating Income, Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA
Operating income, on a GAAP basis, for the fourth quarter was $7.6 million, as compared with $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the fourth quarter was $43.7 million or $1.28 per basic share and $0.99 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss on a GAAP basis of $49.8 million or $1.42 per basic share in the fourth quarter of 2016, and compared with net income of $5.6 million or $0.16 per basic share and $0.15 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2017.

Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fourth quarter of 2017, totaled $9.1 million or $0.27 per basic share and $0.23 per diluted share, as compared with Adjusted Net Income of $1.6 million or $0.05 per basic share and $0.04 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2016, and compared with Adjusted Net Income of $11.4 million or $0.33 per basic share and $0.28 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2017.

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 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.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $128.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter, about flat with $128.4 million at the end of the third quarter of 2017.

Magnachip Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Q3 News Summary
– Revenue of $176.7 million at the higher end of guidance range despite power outage in August
– 28.5% gross profit margin at highest level in more than 4 years
– Foundry gross profit margin increases to 30.3%; fab utilization remains above 90%
– Power Standard Products revenue of $39.0 million at highest level since Q4 2013
– OLED Display Driver IC business resumed growth; OLED revenue increased 15.6% sequentially

SEOUL, South Korea and SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, (NYSE: MX), today announced revenue for the third quarter of $176.7 million, gross profit margin of 28.5%, net income of $5.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $24.7 million or 14.0% of revenue. Gross profit margin and Adjusted EBITDA both were at the highest quarterly levels in more than four years.

CEO Commentary: “Revenue in the third quarter came in at the higher end of the previous guidance range despite a power outage in August that temporarily halted production at our larger fab and caused wafers-in-process to be scrapped,” said YJ Kim, Chief Executive Officer. “We recovered from that incident in a timely manner, and our standard product business lines recorded double digit-sequential revenue growth in the third quarter. Foundry revenue was generally flattish quarter over quarter, but gross profit margin for the Foundry business increased 1.6 percentage points to 30.3%. The Company continued to benefit from an improving product mix and a strong product pipeline.”

On OLED: “We had forecasted earlier in the year that our OLED business would likely bottom in the second quarter of 2017 and resume revenue growth in the third quarter. I’m pleased to report that revenue from OLED display driver ICs increased 15.6% sequentially in the third quarter. Based on our current visibility and insight about multiple new smartphone introductions, we currently anticipate that we have the potential to generate OLED revenue that will exceed 50% growth or clearly exceed $100 million in 2018.”

CFO Commentary: “Our improved financial results demonstrate the success of business strategies and initiatives we’ve implemented, and reflect the decisive steps we’ve taken to reduce our cost structure, streamline operations and strengthen the balance sheet,” said Jonathan Kim, Chief Financial Officer. “We remain fully committed to focus on the overall profitability of MagnaChip and to invest in future initiatives to fuel profitable revenue growth.”

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 or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP.
