sequentially.
- Q1 consolidated gross profit margin was 18.3%, within our

for an electric cooling fan with a China-based SUV supplier, as
well as an additional automotive power steering related win in
Korea.

distribution channel for our Power Analog Solutions products.
Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or
the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first
quarter 2024.
YJ Kim, Magnachip’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In Q1
we started the initial revenue ramp for OLED DDICs for the
after-service market, and we were awarded two new designs targeted
for a leading China smartphone OEM and also for a leading European
EV maker. Our Power Analog Solutions (PAS) business revenue grew
12% sequentially driven by smartphones, e-motors, consumer
appliances and server power applications, and we now are launching
a slate of next-gen power products to help sustain our momentum. We
also are encouraged that the power channel inventory showed signs
of improvement in the first quarter.”
YJ continued, “Looking forward, we expect sequential revenue
growth in Mixed-Signal Solutions (MSS) and PAS to continue in Q2
and we reiterate our prior full-year guidance for double digit
growth in both MSS and PAS businesses.”

(1)
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 planning to convert portions of the idle
capacity to PAS products beginning around 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.
Q2 and 2024 Financial Guidance
Beginning in Q1, the Company begins 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 Q2 2024:
- Consolidated revenue to be in the range of $49 to $54 million,
including approximately $1.5 million of Transitional Foundry
Services.
- MSS revenue to be in the range of $9.5 to $11.5 million. This
compares with MSS equivalent revenue of $9.0 million in Q1 2024 and
$12.4 million in Q2 2023
- PAS revenue to be in the range of $38 to $41 million. This
compares with PAS equivalent revenue of $36.5 million in Q1 2024
and $39 million in Q2 2023.
- Consolidated gross profit margin to be in the range of 17% to
19%.
- MSS gross profit margin to be in the range of 30% to 33%. This
compares with MSS equivalent gross profit margin of 44.6% in Q1
2024, which included non-recurring engineering revenue, and 36.4%
in Q2 2023.
- PAS gross profit margin to be in the range of 15% to 17%,
primarily as a result of the impact of idle capacity from the
expected decline in Transitional Foundry Services revenue. This
compares with PAS equivalent gross profit margin of 15.4% in Q1
2024 and 23.1% in Q2 2023.
For the full-year 2024, we reiterate our prior
guidance:
- MSS revenue to grow double digits year-over-year as compared
with MSS equivalent revenue of $44.4 million in 2023.
- PAS revenue to grow double digits year-over-year as compared
with PAS equivalent revenue of $151.3 million in 2023.
- Consolidated revenue flat-to-up-slightly year-over-year as
recovery in MSS and PAS is offset by the phase-out of Transitional
Foundry Services.
- Consolidated gross profit margin between 17% to 20%, primarily
as a result of the impact of idle capacity expected from the
phase-out of Transitional Foundry Services. This compares with the
consolidated gross profit margin of 22.4% in 2023.
Q1 2024 Earnings Conference Call
Magnachip will host a corresponding conference call at 2:00 p.m.
PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 2, 2024, to discuss its

Operating Loss for the periods indicated as operating loss adjusted
to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense and (ii) Early
termination charges.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023,
we recorded in our consolidated statement of operations $8,449
thousand of early termination charges in connection with the
voluntary resignation program offered to the employees during the
first quarter of 2023.

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 charges. EBITDA for the
periods indicated is defined as net loss before interest income,
interest expense, income tax 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
charges and (v) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023,
we recorded in our consolidated statement of operations $8,449
thousand of early termination charges in connection with the
voluntary resignation program offered to the employees during the
first quarter of 2023.
