-Board Continues to Explore Strategic Alternatives; CAPEX Plans to Be Cut by Over 50% Through 2027-

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 11, 2025– Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced that YJ Kim has agreed to step down as CEO and as a member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately. Camillo Martino, Chairman of the Board of Directors, has also been appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

Magnachip’s Interim CEO and Chairman Camillo Martino said, “YJ Kim became CEO during a turbulent period in the Company’s history, and has led the firm for the past decade. However, Magnachip now faces several strategic, operational and financial challenges as it transitions to become a pure play power semiconductor company, and this requires new leadership. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank YJ for his service and wish him well in his future endeavors.”

Mr. Martino commented, “I am fully committed as Interim CEO and will spend most of my time in South Korea to accelerate our transition to a pure-play power company, while also focusing intensely on achieving sustainable profitability and maximizing shareholder value. Among the first actions being taken in our plan is cutting capital expenditures by more than 50% over the next two-plus years as we prioritize capital allocation. As part of our capital allocation plans, it is important that we invest in our Gumi fab to support the growth of our new-generation power products that are critical to our financial recovery. New-generation products are expected to increase our market competitiveness and result in higher average selling prices and gross profit margins. Capital expenditures, which recently had been forecast to range between $65-70 million through 2027, now are forecast to be in the range of $30-35 million, but the total net cash outlay by Magnachip currently is expected to range between $12-13 million, with the remainder covered by our bank equipment loan facility.

“In addition, we will continue to review all other available cost reduction initiatives to align our spending consistent with our goal to achieve Adjusted EBITDA1 breakeven as soon as possible. One of the right-sizing initiatives being undertaken is headcount reduction, primarily through shared corporate functions. We are currently targeting to achieve annual savings of $2-3 million in operating expenses, with a payback period of 1.5 years.”

In concluding comment, Mr. Martino said, “As part of Magnachip’s capital allocation process, the Board will review all strategic alternatives including, but not limited to, a potential sale of the Company. The Board and management share the frustration of shareholders regarding the performance of the Company, and we are determined to optimize capital returns to shareholders. I will work closely with our management team to execute our strategic and financial plans and our new-generation power product roadmap.”

YJ Kim said, “I wish to thank Magnachip’s employees for their dedication to the Company, and the Board of Directors for its support. It’s been an honor to lead Magnachip over the past 10 years.”

Magnachip Reports Results for Second Quarter 2025

Q2 Results Summary

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes Power Analog Solutions (“PAS”) and Power IC (“PIC”) businesses) increased 8.1% year-over-year to $47.6 million and was above the mid-point of our guidance range of $45.0 to $49.0 million.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations of 20.4% was within our guidance range of 19.5% to 21.5%.
  • Repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $2.3 million.

 

Q2 2025 Highlights

  • Q2 was the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth from continuing operations primarily driven by Power Analog Solutions (PAS) growth in communications and computing applications, as well as strength in Power IC products.
  • PAS revenue from the communication applications market increased 46.7% year-over-year, representing 20% of PAS revenue, while computing applications market revenue grew 45.1% year-over year and represented 8% of PAS revenue.
  • Power IC (PIC) business increased 11.1% year-over-year in Q2 driven by strength for both TV-LED and OLED power ICs.
  • Launched 28 new-generation PAS products in the first half of 2025.
  • Had 71 design-wins in Q2, up 61% from the 44 wins achieved in the year ago quarter. The design-wins include both our new generation Gen 6 Super Junction products and low-voltage Gen 8 MOSFETs, as well as our prior generation medium-voltage and Super Junction products.

 

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jul. 31, 2025– Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter 2025.

Y.J. Kim, Magnachip’s CEO said, “In Q2, Magnachip delivered our fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth from continuing operations, driven primarily by strong performances in our communications and computing applications businesses. The quarter also benefited from some pull-in activity by customers, which contributed to the overall strength of the results. In industrial applications, we continued to see solid demand across key end markets, including e-motors, LED lighting, and 5G battery management systems.”

Mr. Kim added, “Looking to the back half of the year, we face an uncertain environment due to tariffs and pricing pressures on older-generation products, particularly in China. As a result, we currently anticipate a softer second half of the year relative to our prior expectations, and we now forecast 2025 revenue from continuing operations to be flattish as compared to our prior outlook for mid-to-high single-digit growth.”

Mr. Kim added, “While headwinds are impacting our near-term outlook, we are being proactive and decisive by taking structural actions to optimize operational efficiency and we are accelerating the development of a full array of a new generation of feature-rich power products which we expect will command higher prices and margins to drive future growth and profitability. We remain firmly committed to our 3-3-3 strategy of achieving $300 million in revenue with 30% gross margin, although the exact timing will depend largely upon various macroeconomic factors.”

  1. 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.

 

Q3 and Full-year 2025 Financial Guidance

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

 

For Q3 2025:

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes Power Analog Solutions and Power IC businesses) to be in the range of $44 to $48 million, down 3.5% sequentially and down 13.2% year-over-year at the mid-point on an equivalent basis due to pull-ins in Q2 from the second half of the year as well as competitive pricing pressure on its older generation products. This compares with equivalent revenue of $47.6 million in Q2 2025 and $53.0 million in Q3 2024.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations to be in the range of 18.5% to 20.5%. This compares with equivalent gross profit margin of 20.4% in Q2 2025 and 22.0% in Q3 2024.

 

For the full-year 2025:

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations is now expected to be flattish as compared to our previous forecast of mid-to-high single digit growth year-over-year, due to a challenging macroeconomic environment related to tariff uncertainty and pricing pressure on older generation products in China. This compares with equivalent revenue of $185.8 million in 2024.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations between 19% to 20%, as compared to our previous forecast of 19.5% to 21.5%. The equivalent gross profit margin was 21.5% in 2024.

 

Q2 2025 Earnings Conference Call

Magnachip will host a corresponding conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31, 2025, to discuss its financial results.

We present Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted Income (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 benefit, net and depreciation and amortization.

We prepare Adjusted Income (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 Income (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 Income (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) Other charges and (v) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $496 thousand of one-time employee incentives and $350 thousand of certain executive separation benefit related accruals.

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun. 4, 2025– Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced that the Board of Directors of the Company has approved an initiative intended to enhance independent Board oversight and feedback to management in conjunction with the Company’s previously announced transition to a pure-play Power business, implementation of management’s 3-3-3 strategy, and launch of new-generation Power discrete products. The 3-3-3 strategy aims for Magnachip to achieve $300 million in annual revenue and a 30% gross margin over a three-year horizon to align Magnachip’s product roadmap, R&D investments, and operational priorities to drive structural improvements and sustainable profitability.

The Company’s Chairman, Camillo Martino, has agreed, on behalf of the Board to spend additional time on-site at the Company’s headquarters in Korea to meet with management and report back to the full Board during the implementation phase of its 3-3-3 strategy to achieve profitable growth and to maximize shareholder value. The Board expects Mr. Martino to spend several days each month in Korea for at least the remainder of 2025 in order to more closely oversee and report regularly to the Board’s other independent directors on the Company’s progress in its important strategy milestones, as well as to provide more timely feedback to management on behalf of the Board.

Camillo Martino, Chairman of Magnachip, said, “I look forward to spending more time on the ground with our management team in Korea to assist the full Board in its oversight responsibilities during the Company’s implementation of its 3-3-3 strategy as a pure-play Power business. Spending additional time on-site with the management team will allow more streamlined and timely communication with the rest of the independent Board members as Magnachip management implements its strategy to deliver new-generation Power discrete and Power IC products while also achieving its financial targets.”

YJ Kim, Magnachip’s CEO, said, “We welcome the additional support from Camillo on behalf of the Board, and look forward to continuing to provide timely feedback to the rest of the Board as we pursue these new exciting opportunities for Magnachip.”

Q1 Results Summary

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes Power Analog Solutions (“PAS”) and Power IC (“PIC”) businesses) of $44.7 million was in line with the mid-point of our guidance range of $42.0 to $47.0 million. Excluding Transitional Foundry Services, revenue from continuing operations increased 12.1% year-over-year.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations of 20.9% was above the high-end of our guidance range of 18.5% to 20.5%.
  • Repurchased approximately 0.3 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 million during the quarter and ended Q1 with cash of $132.7 million.
  • Announced the shutdown of Display business, which is now classified as discontinued operations from Q1 2025.

 

Q1 2025 Highlights

  • Q1 was the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth from continuing operations primarily driven by Power Analog Solutions (PAS) growth in Communications, as well as strength in Power IC.
  • PAS revenue from the Communication market was up 64% year-over-year.
  • Power IC (PIC) business increased 44.1% year-over-year in Q1 driven by strength for both TV-LED and OLED power ICs.
  • Released 27 new-generation PAS products that are ready for commercial sampling.
  • We had 50 design-wins in Q1, up 13.6% from the 44 wins achieved in the year ago quarter. The design-wins include both our new generation Gen 6 Super Junction products and low-voltage Gen 8 MOSFETs, as well as our prior generation medium-voltage and Super Junction products.

 

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May 12, 2025– Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter 2025.

YJ Kim, Magnachip’s CEO, said, “We delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth from continuing operations, fueled by strong design-wins and momentum in Power Analog Solutions (PAS) and Power IC (PIC). In Q1 alone, we released 27 new-generation PAS products that are fully qualified and ready for commercial sampling, with design-wins spanning the Industrial, Automotive, Consumer, and Communication markets. We currently plan to launch a total of more than 40 new-generation PAS products in 2025 and approximately 55 more in 2026. These innovations not only open new revenue opportunities but are also expected to drive higher gross margins over time. While we remain mindful of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, we currently forecast sequential and year-over-year growth in revenue for continuing operations of PAS and PIC businesses in Q2.”

YJ Kim added, “Through our 3-3-3 strategy—targeting $300 million in annual revenue, a 30% gross margin, and a three-year execution horizon—we are aligning our product roadmap, R&D investments, and operational priorities to drive structural improvements and sustainable profitability.”

Shinyoung Park, Magnachip’s CFO, said, “In Q1, Magnachip achieved 12.1% year-over-year revenue growth from continuing operations and increased gross margin to 20.9%, up from 17.6% a year ago on an equivalent basis and exceeding the high-end of guidance. We expect to realize significant cost savings from the shutdown of our Display business, resulting in a 30% to 35% reduction in annualized operating expenses. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we are focused on prudent capital allocation as we transition to a more efficient, growth-oriented business model. This structural shift is creating a foundation for sustainable profitability and positions us to create long-term value for shareholders.”

  1. 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.

 

Q2 and Full-year 2025 Financial Guidance

Beginning Q1 2025, the Company has 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 Q2 2025:

  • Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes PAS and Power IC businesses) to be in the range of $45 to $49 million, up 5.2% sequentially and up 6.6% year-over-year at the mid-point. This compares with equivalent revenue of $44.7 million in Q1 2025 and $44.1 million in Q2 2024.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations to be in the range of 19.5% to 21.5%. This compares with equivalent gross profit margin of 20.9% in Q1 2025 and 22.5% in Q2 2024.

 

For the full-year 2025, we currently reiterate

  • 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.

We present Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted Income (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, net, (iii) Derivative valuation gain, net and (iv) Other charges. EBITDA – continuing operations for the periods indicated is defined as loss from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), net and depreciation and amortization.

We prepare Adjusted Income (Loss) from continuing operations by adjusting 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 Income (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 Income (Loss) from continuing operations for the periods as net loss, adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Foreign currency loss, net, (iii) Derivative valuation gain, net, (iv) Other charges and (v) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.

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.
