Magnachip Reports Results for First Quarter 2026

Key Terms

non-gaap financial

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

gaap financial

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

mosfets technical

A MOSFET is a tiny electronic switch used inside chips and power circuits to control the flow of electricity, functioning much like a faucet that opens and closes to let current move when needed. Investors care because MOSFETs directly affect how fast, efficient and small electronic devices and power systems can be, so supply, performance improvements or cost changes in MOSFETs can impact manufacturers’ margins, product competitiveness and capital spending.

batteryfet technical

A battery FET is a tiny electronic switch used inside battery systems to control the flow of electricity, acting like a gate that opens or closes current paths to charge, discharge, or isolate a battery. For investors, it matters because these parts affect a product’s safety, efficiency, and cost—similar to how a reliable valve improves performance and prevents leaks—so better battery FETs can improve device lifespan, regulatory compliance, and margins.

rss(on) technical

RSS(on) indicates that an RSS news feed is active and supplying updates from the site. An RSS feed is a simple, automatic delivery channel—like a personalized news ticker—that pushes headlines and full press releases into a reader, app, or portfolio tool so investors receive company announcements immediately rather than waiting to find them on the site.

Q1 Results Summary

• Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes Power Analog Solutions (“PAS”) and Power IC (“PIC”) businesses) was $46.2 million, approximately at the mid-point of our guidance range of $44.0 to $48.0 million.

SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter 2026.

Camillo Martino, Magnachip’s CEO said, “We delivered better-than-seasonal revenue growth in the quarter, reflecting both solid execution and also the impact of the previously communicated inventory and channel actions. We are comfortable with our progress toward our multi-year transformation, and we are showing some good early signs, particularly with the 55 new-generation products launched in 2025. Our focus remains on improving product competitiveness through an accelerated pace of new-generation product launches, which we believe will drive sustainable revenue growth, margin expansion, and improved utilization over time. We believe disciplined execution of our six-pillar strategy will deliver long-term shareholder value.”

Shinyoung Park, Magnachip’s CFO, commented, “We remain committed to financial discipline to significantly improve our financial performance during this multi-year transformation.”

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 2026 Financial Guidance

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

• Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes Power Analog Solutions and Power IC businesses) to be in the range of $44.5 million to $48.5 million, roughly flat sequentially and a decrease of 2.3% year-over-year at the mid-point. This compares with $46.2 million in Q1 2026 and $47.6 million in Q2 2025.
• Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations to be in the range of 17% to 19%, up from 15.6% in Q1 2026 but down from 20.4% in Q2 2025.

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

We prepare Adjusted 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 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 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 loss (gain), net and (iv) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.
