Operational Highlights

Broad-based sequential revenue growth in our PAS business was driven by leaner distribution channels and better-than-typical seasonality. Relative strength was more evident in industrial, computing, and consumer applications. Automotive continues to show strength with additional design wins in Japan and China.
Started initial DDIC production and shipments for a premium smartphone model from a leading China OEM.
Received a purchase order from a second leading China smartphone OEM and commenced shipments in October 2024.
Began sampling our 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.
Power IC revenue increased sequentially, driven primarily by demand for LCD TVs and OLED IT in tablets and notebooks.

SEOUL, South Korea — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 30, 2024 — Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter 2024.

YJ Kim, Magnachip’s CEO, commented, “Our Q3 revenue was at the high-end of guidance driven by broad-based growth in our Standard Product businesses, which is comprised of our MSS and PAS businesses. Standard Product revenue increased 25.9% sequentially and 24% year-over-year. Our discrete Power business benefited from leaner inventory in distribution channels as well as new product designs wins resulting in better-than-seasonal growth. In MSS, the strong sequential growth was due to increased demand for products targeted for China smartphone OEMs, automotive displays, and OLED IT.”

YJ Kim added, “Looking ahead, we expect our Standard Product business revenue in Q4 will modestly decline sequentially, which is better than typical seasonality experienced in past years. We reiterate our full-year guidance for double-digit growth in both MSS and PAS businesses in 2024.”

___________
(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 have begun to convert portions of the idle capacity to PAS products during 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.
