• Fourth quarter revenue of $61.0 million was near the high-end of our guidance range. YoY, our revenue decreased 44.7% primarily due to severe 28nm wafer shortages required for our Display business.
• Full-year revenue of $337.7 million decreased 28.8% YoY due to significantly lower Display revenue as a result of severe 28nm 12-inch OLED wafer shortages that impacted 2^nd half design-in projects from our large panel customers in Korea and weak demand for Android smartphones that led to an inventory correction by smartphone OEMs.
• Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter was 26.4%, within our guidance range.
• Full-year gross profit margin of 30.0% was down 240 bps YoY due mainly to certain inventory reserves and scrap cost related to 12-inch OLED products as a result of lower demand for China smartphones.
• GAAP diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter was $0.07; Full-year GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.18.
• Non-GAAP diluted loss per share for the fourth quarter was $0.36; Full-year non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.19.

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2022.

YJ continued, “Looking ahead, we continue to expect the first half of 2023 to be impacted by inventory corrections and broader macro weakness, but we believe the reopening of China should eventually lead to an improvement in their economy and consumer demand, which will help both our businesses. We expect a recovery in Display revenue in the second half of 2023 as we ramp shipments of our four design-in projects with our two leading panel customers.  For Power, we anticipate on maintaining our momentum of design wins and premium tier product mix. As channel inventories are consumed and the broader economy recovers, we expect to see a rebound in Power revenue.”

Financial Guidance

The Company’s near-term outlook is being challenged by previous OLED wafer allocation constraints that impacted 2nd half 2022 design-in projects and ongoing inventory correction in smartphones and other consumer end markets driven by weakening consumer demand. Q1 is also typically the Company’s seasonally slowest quarter following holiday shipments and is impacted by slower activity around the Chinese New Year.

In response to the industry-wide slowdown and inventory correction, the Company has reduced production at its Fab 3. As a result, the Company expects Q1’23 gross profit margin will be further impacted by lower utilization as well as higher manufacturing input costs such as electricity and wages. The Company currently expects gross profit margin to recover as volume and utilization improves in the 2nd half of 2023.

While actual results may vary, Magnachip currently expects the following for Q1’23:

• Revenue to be in the range of $55 million to $59 million, including about $5 million of Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services.
• Gross profit margin to be in the range of 21% to 23%.

Q4 2022 Earnings Conference Call

Magnachip will host a corresponding conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, February 16, 2023, to discuss its financial results.

We present Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) for the periods indicated as operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense (ii) Inventory reserve related to Huawei impact of downstream trade restrictions (iii) Merger-related income, net and (iv) Other charges, net.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Other charges, net includes $2.8 million of one-time employee incentives and professional service fees and expenses of $1.0 million, incurred in connection with certain strategic evaluations, both of which were offset in part by a $0.5 million gain on sale of certain legacy equipment of the closed back-end line in our fabrication facility in Gumi. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Other charges, net includes $3.4 million of non-recurring professional service fees and expenses incurred in connection with the regulatory requests, partially offset by $1.4 million gain on sale of certain legacy equipment of the closed back-end line in our fabrication facility in Gumi (which was closed during the year ended December 31, 2018).

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded in our consolidated statement of operations net gain of $35.5 million that represented income of $70.2 million from the recognition of a reverse termination fee, net of professional service fees and expenses of $34.7 million incurred in connection with the contemplated merger transaction of the Company that was terminated in December 2021.

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 loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) Inventory reserve related to Huawei impact of downstream trade restrictions, (v) Merger-related income, net and (vi) Other charges, net. EBITDA for the periods indicated is defined as net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization.

We prepare Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by adjusting net income (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 income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Foreign loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) Inventory reserve related to Huawei impact of downstream trade restrictions, (v) Merger-related income, net, (vi) Other charges, net and (vii) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Other charges, net includes $2.8 million of one-time employee incentives and professional service fees and expenses of $1.0 million, incurred in connection with certain strategic evaluations, both of which were offset in part by a $0.5 million gain on sale of certain legacy equipment of the closed back-end line in our fabrication facility in Gumi. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Other charges, net includes $3.4 million of non-recurring professional service fees and expenses incurred in connection with the regulatory requests, partially offset by $1.4 million gain on sale of certain legacy equipment of the closed back-end line in our fabrication facility in Gumi (which was closed during the year ended December 31, 2018) and $0.7 million legal settlement gain related to certain expenses incurred in prior periods in connection with our legacy Fab 4 (which was sold during the year ended December 31, 2020) and awarded in the third quarter of 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded in our consolidated statement of operations net gain of $35.5 million that represented income of $70.2 million from the recognition of a reverse termination fee, net of professional service fees and expenses of $34.7 million incurred in connection with the contemplated merger transaction of the Company that was terminated in December 2021.

For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, the adjustment for GAAP and cash tax expense difference in connection with the release of valuation allowances will no longer be an adjustment included in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure. As such, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share for Q4 2021 and for the full year 2021 presented here have been recast to reflect the removal of this adjustment in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidance.

Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today is correcting an error to its press release issued on November 2, 2022 announcing the Company’s financial results for the third quarter of 2022. Subsequent to the furnishing of the press release, the Company identified a scrivener’s error in the Non-GAAP reconciliation table attached to the press release for Adjusted Net Income per common share (basic and diluted) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, which should have been $0.82 and $0.78 per share, respectively, consistent with the Company’s prior reports for that historical period. No other amounts or information reported in the press release were changed. The complete, corrected release follows:

Magnachip Reports Results for Third Quarter 2022

• Revenue of $71.2 million was within our guidance range. The year-over-year and sequential decline were primarily driven by the supply shortages of OLED wafers in the 2^nd half of this year that impacted design-in projects from our large panel customer in Korea.
• Gross profit margin was 24.2%, below the low end of our guidance range as we recorded a $3.3 million charge to scrap 12-inch wafers as a result of slowing demand caused by elevated smartphone inventories in China.
• GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.38.
• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.02.

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022.

YJ Kim continued, “While the global economic situation remains challenging, our balance sheet is strong, and we are focused on executing a recovery of our Display business. During the quarter, we successfully released our new OLED DDIC sample to our new panel customer and we expect to begin mass production in 2023. In addition, due to the global economic slowdown, we are seeing more wafer capacity availability and we are in discussion with multiple foundries to secure capacity and believe that our 2023 wafer supply will be more than two times higher than 2022. As such, we expect to see a significant recovery of Display business in 2023.”

Q3 2022 Financial Highlights

Q4 2022 Financial Guidance
The Company’s near-term outlook is being challenged by previous OLED wafer allocation constraints that impacted 2^nd half design-in projects, elevated smartphone channel inventories, a pushout of the initial mass production ramp of our new OLED customer and weakening demand in consumer end markets on growing recession fears and cost increases, including labor, due to inflationary pressures. In addition, we estimate our Q4 revenue will be further negatively impacted by approximately $5 million of foreign exchange hedging instruments. While actual results may vary, looking into the next quarter, Magnachip currently expects:

• Revenue to be in the range of $57 million to $62 million, including about $7 million of Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services.
• Gross profit margin to be in the range of 26 % to 28%.

Q3 2022 Earnings Conference Call
Magnachip will host a corresponding conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 2, 2022, to discuss its financial results.

We define Adjusted Net Income for the periods as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Foreign currency loss, net, (iii) Derivative valuation gain, net, (iv) Inventory reserve related to Huawei, (v) Merger-related costs, (vi) Other charges, net and (vii) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Other charges, net includes $2.8 million of one-time employee incentives, in each period, and professional service fees and expenses of $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, incurred in connection with certain strategic evaluations, both of which were offset in part by a $0.5 million gain on sale of certain legacy equipment of the closed back-end line in our fabrication facility in Gumi. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, Other charges, net includes professional service fees and expenses of $0.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, incurred in connection with the regulatory requests, both of which were offset in part by a $0.7 million legal settlement gain related to certain expenses incurred in prior periods in connection with our legacy Fab 4 (which was sold during the year ended December 31, 2020) and awarded in the third quarter of 2021.
