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.

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.
