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.

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.

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.
