SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 3, 2025– Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter 2025.

Camillo Martino, Magnachip’s CEO said, “Our top priority is to stabilize our financial position and establish a solid foundation for business recovery. At the same time, we have restructured our go-to-market organization and we are revitalizing our product portfolio to enhance our competitiveness, particularly in China. In the first three quarters of 2025, we launched 30 new-generation products, compared to only two in the first three quarters of 2024. We currently plan to launch at least another 20 new-generation products in the fourth quarter of 2025, bringing the total for 2025 to at least 50 new-generation products, in comparison to only four in all of 2024.”

Mr. Martino added, “We recognize that we are entering a challenging period ahead as we right-size as a pure-play power products company. However, we believe that we are moving in the right direction and are committed to exploring all strategic options to position Magnachip for success.”

GAAP and non-GAAP metrics summarized herein do not include any amounts relating to the Display business, which has been classified as discontinued operations from Q1 2025, and we have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.

(2)

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 had wound down these foundry services by the end of 2024. Because these foundry services during the wind-down period had 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 was completed. Management believes that disclosing revenue of Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services separately from the Power solutions business allows investors to better understand the results of our core PAS and Power IC businesses.

(3)

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.

 

Q4 and Full-year 2025 Financial Guidance

While actual results may vary, Magnachip currently expects the following:

 

For Q4 2025:

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes Power Analog Solutions and Power IC businesses) to be in the range of $38.5 to $42.5 million, down 11.9% sequentially and down 17.1% year-over-year at the mid-point on an equivalent basis due in part to a one-time $2.5 million incentive program we expect to execute in Q4 to reduce higher levels of inventory in the channel. This compares with equivalent revenue of $45.9 million in Q3 2025 and $48.9 million in Q4 2024.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations to be in the range of 8% to 10% due to the above-described one-time incentive as well as a lower fab utilization rate. We expect this incentive program to be a 600 basis point negative impact. This compares with equivalent gross profit margin of 18.6% in Q3 2025 and 23.2% in Q4 2024.

 

For the full-year 2025:

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations is expected to be down by 3.8% year-over-year at the mid-point of Q4 revenue guidance on an equivalent basis. The equivalent revenue in 2024 was $185.8 million.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations is expected to be between 17% to 18% and the above-described one-time incentive in Q4 is expected to have an about 100 basis point negative impact in the full-year consolidated gross profit margin. The equivalent gross profit margin was 21.5% in 2024.

We have reclassified prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation that reflects the classification of the Display business as discontinued operations from Q1 2025.

We present Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted Loss from continuing operations as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the periods indicated as EBITDA – continuing operations (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) Other charges. EBITDA – continuing operations for the periods indicated is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), net and depreciation and amortization.

We prepare Adjusted Loss from continuing operations by adjusting income (loss) from continuing operations 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 Loss from continuing operations is particularly useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance. We define Adjusted Loss from continuing operations for the periods as net income (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 three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded in our consolidated statement of operations $2,599 thousand in expenses of termination related charges in connection with the voluntary resignation program executed during the third quarter of 2025.

– Magnachip to leverage accumulated expertise in automotive IGBT technology via 10-year collaboration with Hyundai Mobis

 

SEOUL, South Korea – Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced it has concluded an agreement with Hyundai Mobis Company Limited (hereinafter “MOBIS”) regarding the use of high-performance Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) technology, and plans to expand its business based on this technology. Hyundai Mobis is a global auto parts provider focused on delivering differentiated mobility solutions that combine software and hardware.

IGBTs are power semiconductors used in high-power systems that require both high voltage and high current. According to market research firm Omdia, the global IGBT market value exceeded $11 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from$12.3 billion in 2025 to $16.9 billion by 2028.

IGBTs used in traction inverters targeted for hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs) are experiencing rapid market growth. Since the efficiency and reliability of IGBTs significantly impact inverter performance, only a few power industry market leaders can offer the stable mass-production capabilities required for high-voltage and high-current products that currently lead the market.

Recognizing the increasing importance of internalizing core power semiconductor technologies for traction systems, MOBIS and Magnachip have collaborated since 2015 on the development of IGBTs for traction inverters. Under this partnership, MOBIS has led the structural design, while Magnachip has contributed its expertise primarily in semiconductor process technology. Following system-level evaluation and validation, the two companies recently developed new IGBT products that meet the stringent requirements of EVs. MOBIS currently plans to begin mass production of inverters incorporating these IGBTs in 2026.

Furthermore, Magnachip is leveraging the jointly-developed design technology to drive further development and commercialization of its own IGBT products. As part of these efforts, the Company plans to launch a new series of industrial IGBTs in the first half of next year, in line with its strategy to strengthen technological competitiveness and solidify its position in the global power semiconductor market, with a focus on the industrial, AI, and renewable energy markets.

“This strategic partnership marks an important step in advancing our IGBT capabilities,” said Camillo Martino, CEO of Magnachip. “The development of our new seventh-generation IGBT product family significantly enhances our portfolio and positions us to compete more effectively in high-performance, premium markets. Magnachip is actively targeting high-value opportunities in industrial, AI and renewable energy applications, which we expect to represent a larger share of our product mix in the coming years.”
