Recent Highlights Appointment of Chae Lee as Chief Executive Officer Launches New 6th-Generation 600V SJ MOSFETs for AI Servers and EV Charging Applications Formed strategic partnership with Navitas Semiconductor to license SiC technology for use in high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage power markets SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 29, 2026-- Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter 2026. Chae Lee, Magnachip’s CEO said, “Our second quarter results underscore both the challenges and the opportunity ahead. Our strategic relationship with Navitas marks an important milestone toward our plan to rebuild Magnachip. As I have met with our employees and customers over the past month, I have become increasingly confident in the strength of Magnachip's technology, engineering talent and manufacturing capabilities. Building on the strategic transformation already underway, we are focused on developing more differentiated power semiconductor solutions, improving our execution, and positioning Magnachip to compete through advanced innovation. While this transformation will take time, I believe it will strengthen our competitive position and create greater long-term shareholder value."

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. Q3 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 $41.5 million to $45.5 million, a decrease of 2.7% sequentially and a decrease of 5.2% year-over-year at the mid-point. This compares with $44.7 million in Q2 2026 and $45.9 million in Q3 2025. Consolidated gross profit margin from continuing operations to be in the range of 17% to 19%, compared with 19.3% in Q2 2026 and 18.6% in Q3 2025. The sequential decline is primarily due to an unfavorable product mix. Commenting on the third quarter guidance, Shinyoung Park, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We continue to see healthy demand for our Low Voltage BatteryFET product line for mobile products. Nevertheless, we expect third-quarter revenue to decline sequentially due to three near-term factors: packaging constraints in our supply chain that are limiting our ability to fully satisfy demand, lower-than-expected customer volumes in certain consumer applications, and an unfavorable product mix resulting from continued pricing pressure on our legacy products.” Q2 2026 Earnings Conference Call Magnachip will host a corresponding conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, to discuss its financial results.

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) Other charges. EBITDA – continuing operations for the periods indicated is defined as income (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 income (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 (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) Other charges and (v) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $1,981 thousand of other charges, consisting of a $1,095 thousand customer goodwill payment related to a certain product, and $886 thousand of one-time employee incentives.
