The Power solutions business. Gross profit from our Power solutions business was $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which represented a $0.2 million, or 2.0%, decrease from gross profit of $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous wording

After shutting down the Display business, we will provide limited support for remaining customer obligations including the sale of “end of life” (“EOL”)” Display products, which will be conducted by MSK. We will maintain a small team to continue to support customers with respect to EOL Display products. The sale of EOL Display products and the potential monetization of the intellectual property assets of the discontinued Display business are currently expected to generate cash inflow of approximately $15 million to $20 million over a period of approximately 2 years after completion of the liquidation, depending upon the demand of customers and the outcome of the monetization efforts of the Display intellectual property assets.

Current wording

Although we shut down our Display business, we continue to provide limited support for remaining customer obligations including the sale of “end of life” (“EOL”) Display products, which is being conducted by MSK.

The sale of EOL Display products and the potential monetization of the intellectual property assets of the Discontinued Business are currently expected to generate cash inflow of approximately $20 million over a period of approximately 2 years from the second half of 2025, depending upon customer demand and monetization efforts of the Display intellectual property assets.

Previous wording

The total estimated cash cost of the liquidation is approximately $12 to $15 million, which is expected to be offset by the cash inflow that we will generate as described above. Theone-time liquidation cost is expected to consist of statutory severance and other employee-related costs, contract termination charges and other associated costs. Of this estimated total cash cost, approximately $4.5 million represents the net statutory severance, required by law, which have already been fully accrued in our consolidated financial statements. We expect to recognize substantially all of these charges, excluding the already fully-accrued net statutory severance of $4.5 million, in the quarter ending June 30, 2025.

Current wording

The total estimated cash cost of the liquidation is approximately $12 to $15 million, which is expected to be offset by the cash inflow that may be generated as described above. Theone-time liquidation cost is expected to consist of statutory severance and other employee-related costs, contract termination charges and other associated costs. Of this estimated total cash cost, we paid $6.5 million of statutory severance and other employee-related costs in the second quarter of 2025. Further, we originally expected to pay certain contract termination charges in full along with the statutory severance and other employee-related costs, but negotiated with the respective vendors for those contract termination charges totaling $6.5 million to be paid over the duration of the remaining existing contract terms.

Average Selling Prices. Average selling prices for our products tend to be highest at the time of introduction of new products which utilize the latest technology and tend to decrease over time as such products mature in the market and are replaced by next generation products. We strive to offset the impact of declining selling prices for existing products through our product development activities and by introducing new products that command selling prices above the average selling price of our existing products. In addition, we seek to manage our inventories and manufacturing capacity so as to preclude losses from product and productive capacity obsolescence.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates on Reported Results of Operations. Historically, a portion of our revenues and cost of sales and greater than the majority of our operating expenses have been denominated innon-U.S. currencies, principally the Korean won, and we expect that this will remain true in the future. Because we report our results of operations in U.S. dollars converted from ournon-U.S. revenues and expenses based on monthly average exchange rates, changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar could materially impact our reported results of operations and distort period to period comparisons. In particular, because of the difference in the amount of our consolidated revenues and expenses that are in U.S. dollars relative to Korean won, depreciation in the U.S. dollar relative to the Korean won could result in a material increase in reported costs relative to revenues, and therefore could cause our profit margins and operating income to appear to decline materially, particularly relative to prior periods. The converse is true if the U.S. dollar were to appreciate relative to the Korean won. Moreover, our foreign currency gain or loss would be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar as a substantial portion ofnon-cash translation gain or loss is associated with the intercompany long-term loans to one of our Korean subsidiaries, Magnachip Semiconductor, Ltd. or MSK, which is denominated in U.S. dollars. As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding intercompany loan balance including accrued interest between MSK and our Dutch subsidiary was $260.7 million. As a result of such foreign currency fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of operations. In addition, to the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our results of operations to differ from our expectations or the expectations of our investors, the trading price of our stock could be adversely affected.
