Insights

The financial performance of Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation, as disclosed, indicates a significant year-over-year (YoY) revenue decline of 31.9% and a decrease in gross profit margin by 760 basis points (bps). These figures are critical as they reflect the company's profitability and operational efficiency. The transition from Transitional Foundry Services to higher-margin Power products is a strategic move to improve margins, but it is accompanied by short-term challenges, such as the anticipated gross margin pressure in the Power-Analog Solutions (PAS) segment.

Investors should note that despite the current revenue and margin pressures, the company's strategic shift towards the OLED market and the establishment of the Mixed-Signal Solutions (MSS) and PAS entities could position Magnachip for recovery and growth in the long-term. The double-digit revenue growth expectation for MSS and PAS in 2024 and the company's debt-free status with substantial cash reserves are positive indicators for future financial health. However, the flat to slightly up consolidated revenue projection for 2024 suggests that the benefits of the transition may take time to fully materialize.

Magnachip's design-win with Chinese smartphone OEMs and entry into the OLED smartwatch display market signal a strategic pivot towards high-growth areas within the semiconductor industry. The OLED market, particularly in China, is expanding rapidly due to the adoption of OLED displays in various consumer electronics. Securing design-wins is a critical step that indicates product acceptance and potential future sales.

However, the competitive landscape in China is fierce, with local and international players vying for market share. Magnachip's ability to secure additional design-wins and effectively penetrate the market will be crucial. The company's on-the-ground team in China could provide a competitive advantage in understanding local market dynamics and customer needs. The long-term success of these initiatives will hinge on the company's ability to innovate and maintain strong relationships with OEMs.

The semiconductor industry is cyclical and sensitive to macroeconomic factors. Magnachip's restructuring into MSS and PAS comes at a time when the global economy faces uncertainties, which could affect consumer spending and demand for electronics. The company's performance must be viewed within this broader economic context.

Despite the downturn in revenue and gross profit margin, Magnachip's strategic initiatives may align well with potential economic recovery scenarios. If consumer demand picks up in the wake of economic stabilization, the company's focus on OLED and high-margin Power products could yield significant benefits. Conversely, should economic conditions worsen, the company's streamlined operations and lack of debt provide some resilience, although revenue and margins could be further impacted.

SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2023.

YJ Kim, Magnachip’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “As we reflect on the past year and look ahead, we’re shaping our future with the transformation of our business. First, we have shifted our Display business to be laser-focused on the burgeoning OLED market in China and our efforts there are already showing promising results. We now have two design-wins and a dedicated team on the ground to help build on this momentum. Additionally, we are working to optimize our Gumi Fab to transition from lower-margin Transitional Foundry Services to higher-margin Power products. Finally, we’ve restructured our company to streamline operations, enhance shareholder value and increase transparency for our investors with the completion of our legal separation of historical Display and Power businesses into MSS and PAS.”

YJ continued, “Looking ahead, for full year 2024, we currently expect double-digit revenue growth in both the newly organized MSS and PAS businesses. We currently expect total consolidated company revenue for full year 2024 to remain relatively flat to slightly up due to the phase-out of Transitional Foundry Services. We also anticipate PAS gross margin to be challenged during the transition period while we convert the Transitional Foundry Services capacity to Power capacity, but we are committed to navigating this period with a clear focus on long-term value creation for shareholders.”
____________
*MSS consists of historical Display and Power IC business, which is operated by Magnachip Mixed-Signal, Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in Korea. PAS business is operated by Magnachip Semiconductor, Ltd., the existing limited liability company incorporated in Korea.

(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 planning to wind down these foundry services and 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 display solutions and power solutions businesses.

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 income (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.

Q1 and 2024 Financial Guidance

Beginning in Q1, the Company will begin 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 Q1 2024:

  • Consolidated revenue to be in the range of $46 to $51 million, including approximately $3 million of Transitional Foundry Services.
    • MSS revenue to be in the range of $8 to $10 million. This compares with MSS equivalent revenue of $8.6 million in Q4 2023.
    • PAS revenue to be in the range of $35 to $38 million. This compares with PAS equivalent revenue of $32.6 million in Q4 2023.
  • Consolidated gross profit margin to be in the range of 17% to 20%.
    • MSS gross profit margin to be in the range of 40% to 43%, which includes the positive impact of expected one-time non-recurring engineering revenue. This compares with MSS equivalent gross profit margin of 41.3% in Q4 2023, which also included one-time non-recurring engineering revenue.
    • PAS gross profit margin to be in the range of 15% to 18% due primarily to the expected decline in Transitional Foundry Services revenue. This compares with PAS equivalent gross profit margin of 18.0% in Q4 2023.

For the full-year 2024:

  • 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% due to idle capacity expected from the phase-out of Transitional Foundry Services. This compares with the consolidated gross profit margin of 22.4% in 2023.

Q4 2023 Earnings Conference Call

Magnachip will host a corresponding conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, 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 loss adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense and (ii) Early termination and other charges, net.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Early termination and other charges includes $8,449 thousand of termination related charges in connection with the voluntary resignation program that we offered to certain employees during the first quarter of 2023 and $802 thousand of one-time employee incentives.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Early termination and other charges, net includes $2,821 thousand of one-time employee incentives and professional service fees and expenses of $1,014 thousand, incurred in connection with certain strategic evaluations, both of which were offset in part by a $537 thousand gain on sale of certain legacy equipment of the closed back-end line in our fabrication facility in Gumi.

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 currency loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net and (iv) Early termination and 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 currency loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) Early termination and other charges, net and (v) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Early termination and other charges includes $8,449 thousand of termination related charges in connection with the voluntary resignation program that we offered to certain employees during the first quarter of 2023 and $802 thousand of one-time employee incentives.
