- Announces Transition to Become Pure-Play Power Company; Explores All Strategic Options for Display Business - Q4 Results Summary Consolidated revenue of $63 million was above the mid-point of our guidance range of $59.0 to $64.0 million. Standard Product business revenue was down 5.1% sequentially due primarily to seasonality. Consolidated gross profit margin of 25.2% was above the high-end our guidance range of 21.5% to 23.5%. Standard Product business gross profit margin was 26.6%, up 2.2 percentage points sequentially. Repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares for aggregate purchase price of $2.9 million during the quarter and ended Q4 with cash of $138.6 million. 2024 Highlights Excluding Transitional Foundry Services, Standard Products business revenue increased 13% year-over-year, with MSS up 22.5% and PAS up 10.2%. Both of these business line growth rates were in line with original guidance for double-digit growth provided at the beginning of 2024. PAS revenue growth was strongest in Communication, Computing and Consumer in calendar 2024. Automotive and Industrial declined only slightly, relatively outperforming the broader markets. Power IC revenue increased more than 50% year-over-year.
Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024.
YJ Kim, Magnachip’s CEO, said, “Our Q4 revenue of $63 million was up 24% year-over-year, and gross profit margin of 25.2% was up 2.5 percentage points as compared to a year ago. For the year, Standard Products business revenue increased 13% year-over-year, in line with our guidance for double-digit growth that we provided at the beginning of 2024.”
YJ Kim added, “Our revenue and gross margin results represented a step in the right direction, but our utmost short-term goal is a return to profitability. To achieve this goal, Magnachip announced today its transition to become a pure-play Power company, and we also announced that we are exploring all strategic options for the Display business, which will be classified as discontinued operations when the Company reports Q1 results in May.”
YJ Kim commented, “By focusing on the Power business, Magnachip currently expects to achieve a quarterly Adjusted EBITDA* breakeven by the end of Q4 2025 from continuing operations, followed by positive adjusted operating income* in 2026, and positive adjusted free cash flow* in 2027. Each of these targets will act as milestones towards achieving a goal in 3 years to reach a $300 million annual revenue run-rate with a 30% gross profit margin target. We call this our 3-3-3 strategy.”
*Non-GAAP measure. Please see footnote (2) under the table below, as well as the reconciliation tables of historical GAAP results to non-GAAP results included at the end of this press release.

______________________
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 have wound down these foundry services and 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 have still been provided to the same buyer by us using our Fab 3 based on mutually agreed terms and conditions, we continued 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 historical GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included in this press release. We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for net foreign currency transaction gain or loss, less capital expenditures.
Q1 and Full-year 2025 Financial Guidance
Beginning Q1 2025, the Company will become a pure-play Power company, with the display business classified as discontinued operations and reported separately from continuing operations, which will include PAS and Power IC business lines. While actual results may vary, Magnachip currently expects the following:
For Q1 2025:
For the full-year 2025, which will set the stage to become a pure-play Power company, we currently expect:

We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated as EBITDA (as defined below), adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense, (ii) Foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iii) Derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) Impairment and other charges and (v) Early termination charges. EBITDA for the periods indicated is defined as net loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), net and depreciation and amortization.
We prepare Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by adjusting net loss 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 Net Income (Loss) is particularly useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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) Impairment and other charges, (v) Early termination charges and (vi) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded in our consolidated statement of operations $4,637 thousand of impairment loss primarily related to the tangible assets associated with our Display business. During the same period, we also recorded $2,017 thousand of one-time cumulative financial impact in connection with certain employee benefits.
