Q3 Results Summary

Consolidated revenue from continuing operations (which includes Power Analog Solutions (“PAS”) and Power IC (“PIC”) businesses) was $44.0 million, within the guidance range of $41.5 million to $45.5 million.
Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations of 14.0% was below the guidance range of 17.0% to 19.0%, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange movements.

(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. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release.

Q4 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 $41.0 million to $45.0 million reflecting the typical seasonal softness in the fourth quarter. At the midpoint, this represents a decrease of 2.2% sequentially and an increase of 6.0% year-over-year, compared with $44.0 million in Q3 2026 and $40.6 million in Q4 2025.

Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations to be in the range of 10% to 12%, compared with 14.0% in Q3 2026 and 9.3% in Q4 2025. The sequential decline is primarily due to lower utilization resulting from a power shutdown in the fab due to a substation upgrade and appreciation of Korean Won.

“Third quarter revenue was within our guidance range, although gross profit margin was below our expectations, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange movements,” said Shinyoung Park, Chief Financial Officer of Magnachip. “Looking at next quarter, despite headwinds on legacy products, foreign exchange volatility and the impact of the recently completed electrical substation upgrade, we remain focused on managing costs and maintaining the financial flexibility necessary to support our strategic transformation. With approximately $87 million in cash at quarter-end, we believe we are well-positioned to continue investing selectively in the technologies and products that will drive our long-term competitiveness.”

Magnachip will host a corresponding conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, to discuss its financial results.

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 (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net and (iv) Early termination and other charges. EBITDA – continuing operations for the periods indicated is defined as loss from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (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 loss from continuing operations, 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.
