Financial Analyst

Magnachip's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While revenue of $53.2 million exceeded guidance, it still represents a 12.8% year-over-year decline. The gross profit margin of 21.8% surpassed expectations, indicating improved operational efficiency.

The Standard Products Business, comprising MSS and PAS, showed resilience with a 11.6% sequential increase. However, the operating loss of $12.8 million and net loss of $13 million are concerning, reflecting ongoing challenges in profitability.

Looking ahead, the Q3 guidance suggests continued recovery, with projected revenue of $61.5-66.5 million. The expected growth in MSS (33.7% sequentially) and PAS (19.8% sequentially) is promising. However, investors should note the company's revised full-year outlook, now expecting flat to slightly down consolidated revenue, a downgrade from previous expectations.

The company's cash position of $132.5 million plus $30 million in short-term investments provides a solid financial buffer. The ongoing share repurchase program, with $2.3 million spent in Q2, demonstrates confidence in the company's long-term prospects.

Tech Industry Analyst

Magnachip's Q2 results highlight its strategic focus on OLED and power solutions. The company's progress in OLED technology is particularly noteworthy:

• Secured a purchase commitment for an OLED driver targeted at a premium smartphone OEM
• Advanced development of next-generation OLED drivers with enhanced features and 20% reduced power consumption
• Expanded into the smartwatch market with their first OLED smartwatch DDIC

These developments position Magnachip well in the growing OLED market, especially as demand for advanced displays in smartphones and wearables continues to rise.

In the power solutions segment, the 7.4% sequential growth in Power Analog Solutions is encouraging. The launch of a new 75A/1200V IGBT for solar applications demonstrates Magnachip's efforts to diversify its product portfolio and tap into the renewable energy sector.

The formation of Magnachip Technology Company in China is a strategic move to strengthen the company's presence in a key market. However, investors should monitor how geopolitical tensions might impact this expansion.

While the company faces near-term challenges, its focus on innovation and market expansion in OLED and power solutions could drive long-term growth, provided they can effectively monetize these technological advancements.

Financial Highlights

• Q2 consolidated revenue was $53.2 million, above the mid-point of guidance range of $49-54 million.
  • Q2 standard product business revenue was up 11.6% sequentially.
• Q2 consolidated gross profit margin was 21.8%, above the upper end of guidance range of 17-19%.
  • Q2 standard product business gross profit margin was 23.1%, up nearly two percentage points sequentially.
• Ended Q2 with cash of $132.5 million; and also have an additional short-term financial investment of $30 million.
• Repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares for aggregate purchase price of $2.3 million during the quarter.

Operational Highlights

• Held formal opening ceremony in China for newly formed subsidiary, Magnachip Technology Company, Ltd. (MTC).
• Secured a purchase commitment for OLED driver targeted for a premium smartphone OEM; mass production and revenue currently expected to begin by year-end.
• Delivered samples of our next-generation OLED driver to a panel supplier for a leading Chinese smartphone OEM's winter 2024 model, now in the final design validation phase.
• Taped out a new OLED driver designed with next-generation IP including sub-pixel rendering (SPR), refined color enhancement, color filter, brightness uniformity control and more than 20% reduction in power consumption than previous generation.
• Sampled our first OLED smartwatch DDIC in Q2 following a Q1 tape-out, demonstrating our expansion into new, adjacent markets.
• Power IC revenue increased sequentially, driven primarily by demand for LCD TVs and OLED IT monitors.
• Sequential revenue growth in PAS segment was driven by industrial, communication and consumer applications. Automotive rebounded with new design wins in Japan and China.
• Launched new 75A/1200V IGBT for a design opportunity in solar applications; expected to begin mass production in the second half of the year.

SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter 2024.

YJ Kim, Magnachip’s CEO, commented, “Our Q2 revenue was above the mid-point of guidance and gross margin was better than expected. Revenue in our Standard Products Business, which is comprised of our MSS and PAS businesses, increased sequentially by double digits in Q2. We benefited from a recovery in our Power business, increased demand for OLED drivers for China smartphones and European autos, and an upturn in Power IC demand for OLED IT panels and LED TVs.”

YJ Kim added, “Looking ahead, we currently expect Standard Product Business revenue will increase sequentially once again in Q3, driven by leaner distribution channels in Power, as well as seasonality, and an increase in OLED and Power IC 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.

Q3 and Full-year 2024 Financial Guidance

Beginning in Q1, the Company began 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 Q3 2024:

• Consolidated revenue to be in the range of $61.5 to $66.5 million, including approximately $1.5 million of Transitional Foundry Services.
  • MSS revenue to be in the range of $14.5 to $16.5 million, up 33.7% sequentially and 46.2% year-over-year at the mid-point. This compares with MSS equivalent revenue of $11.6 million in Q2 2024 and $10.6 million in Q3 2023.
  • PAS revenue to be in the range of $45.5 to $48.5 million, up 19.8% sequentially and 14.6% year-over-year at the mid-point. This compares with PAS equivalent revenue of $39.2 million in Q2 2024 and $41.0 million in Q3 2023.
• Consolidated gross profit margin to be in the range of 22.5% to 24.5%.
  • MSS gross profit margin to be in the range of 36.5% to 39.5%. This compares with MSS equivalent gross profit margin of 34.6% in Q2 2024 and 28.8% in Q3 2023.
  • PAS gross profit margin to be in the range of 18.5% to 20.5%. This compares with PAS equivalent gross profit margin of 19.7% in Q2 2024 and 28.6% in Q3 2023.

For the full-year 2024, we currently expect:

• MSS revenue to grow double digits year-over-year as compared with MSS equivalent revenue of $44.4 million in 2023, consistent with what we communicated at the beginning of the year.
• PAS revenue to grow double digits year-over-year as compared with PAS equivalent revenue of $151.3 million in 2023, consistent with what we communicated at the beginning of the year.
• Transitional Foundry Services revenue will decline in 2024, as expected. We expect this revenue to phase out by the end of the year.
• Consolidated revenue flattish-to-slightly down, compared to prior expectation of flat-to-up-slightly year-over-year.
• Consolidated gross profit margin between 19% to 22%, above our prior expectation of 17% to 20%. This compares with the consolidated gross profit margin of 22.4% in 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 and other 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 and other charges and (v) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded in our consolidated statement of operations $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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $802 thousand of one-time employee incentives.
