NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

  1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Business

Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal power semiconductor platform solutions for various applications, including industrial, automotive, communication, consumer and computing.

The Company develops and manufactures Power discrete products and develops Power integrated circuit (“IC”) products. Power discrete products include metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (“MOSFETs”) and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (“IGBTs”) for a range of devices, including televisions, smartphones, mobile phones, wearable devices, desktop personal computers (“PCs”), notebook PCs, tablet PCs, servers, other consumer electronics, as well as automotive and industrial applications such as power suppliers,

e-bikes,

solar inverters, LED lighting and motor drives. Power IC products include

AC-DC/DC-DC

converters, LED drivers, regulators, power management integrated circuits (“PMICs”) and level shifter for a range of devices, including televisions, wearable devices, notebooks, tablet PCs and others consumer electronics, as well as automotive applications.

In 2024, the Power IC business was operated by Magnachip Mixed-Signal, Ltd. (“MMS”), which later transferred the business to Magnachip Semiconductor, Ltd. (“MSK”) effective January 1, 2025, pursuant to an intercompany business transfer agreement executed between MMS and MSK. The transfer was based on the mutual understanding that consolidating the Power IC and Power Analog Solutions businesses under a single company would create a more effective framework for expanding and strengthening the Company’s business for Power products.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These interim consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and the elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. These interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, “Interim Reporting” and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, except for the changes below.

The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation for discontinued operations to reflect a plan to shut down the Company’s Display business and transition into a pure-play Power company. The assets and liabilities related to the discontinued Display business have not been reclassified on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations” for additional information. The consolidated statements of cash flows have not been adjusted to separately disclose cash flows related to discontinued operations, but the material items in the operating and investing activities of cash flows relating to discontinued operations are disclosed in Note 2. Unless otherwise stated, information in these notes to consolidated financial statements relates to the Company’s continuing operations and excludes the discontinued operations.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, except for those related to discontinued operations as described below, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

2024-03,

“Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic

220-40):

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”

(“ASU 2024-03”).

Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU

2025-01

to clarify the effective date of ASU

2024-03.

ASU

2024-03

requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU

2024-03

is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU

No. 2023-09,

“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”

(“ASU 2023-09”),

which intends to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. It requires public business entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold. ASU

2023-09

is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. Discontinued Operations

On March 7, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a strategy to transition to a pure-play Power company, focusing its investments on the Power Analog Solutions and Power IC businesses to enhance profitability and maximize shareholder value. As part of this strategy, the Company explored all strategic options including a sale, merger, joint venture, licensing, and wind-down for its Display business (Display IC products). However, the Company was not able to consummate a transaction following several months of discussions with several interested parties on terms that the Company’s Board of Directors believed were in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Accordingly, on April 6, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the plan to shut down the Company’s Display business (the “Discontinued Business”), including the liquidation of MMS, the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary that operated the Discontinued Business. As a result, the Display business qualifies as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC

205-20.

The following table summarizes the results from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized the impairment charges of $

12,424

thousand, primarily related to certain design tool software contracts in connection with the shutdown of the Display business.

The following table presents the major classes of assets of the discontinued operations that were included in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

Although the Company has ceased active operations of its Display business, it continues to have limited involvement after the shutdown. Specifically, the Company’s Korean subsidiary, MSK, continues to fulfill remaining customer obligations, including the sale of certain “end of life” (“EOL”) Display products. A small team has been retained to manage the transition and to provide ongoing customer support.

As such, the result of these limited ongoing activities do not qualify for presentation as part of continuing operations and are instead presented as part of discontinued operations. The following table presents the revenue, gross profit and operating expenses related to the Company’s continuing involvement with the Discontinued Business for the periods presented (in thousands):

Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
Net sales$7,233$9,551
Gross profit3,5404,473
Operating expenses342485

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.

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. The

one-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, the Company paid $6.5 million of statutory severance and other employee-related costs in the second quarter of 2025. Further, the Company 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.

  1. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s Korean subsidiary, Magnachip Semiconductor, Ltd., from time to time has entered into zero cost collar contracts to hedge the risk of changes in the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows attributable to currency rate changes on U.S. dollar denominated revenues.

Details of the zero cost collar contracts as of September 30, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

Date of transactionTotal notional amountMonth of settlement

October 17, 2024$9,000October 2025 to December 2025

The zero cost collar contracts qualify as cash flow hedges under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” since at both the inception of the contracts and on an ongoing basis, the hedging relationship was and is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the term of the contracts.

The fair values of the Company’s outstanding zero cost collar contracts recorded as assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

Items not reflected in the table above include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and other accounts payable, fair value of which approximate carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding Term Loan and CAPEX Loan approximates its fair value because its interest rate reflects the market rate for the respective periods. The fair value of this debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

  1. Accrued Severance Benefits

The majority of accrued severance benefits are for employees in the Company’s Korean subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act of Korea, eligible employees and executive officers with one or more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their employment based on their length of service and rate of pay. As of September 30, 2025,97% of all employees of the Company were eligible for severance benefits.

  1. Long-Term Borrowings

Term Loan

On March 26, 2024, Magnachip Semiconductor, Ltd., a Korean limited liability company (“MSK”) and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, executed a Standard Credit Agreement (together with its General Terms and Conditions, the “Loan Agreement”) with Korea Development Bank (“KDB”). In connection with the Loan Agreement, on March 26, 2024, MSK entered into a

(Mortgage) Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) with KDB pursuant to which MSK pledged its real property and buildings located in Gumi, Korea (“Fab 3 properties”) in favor of KDB.

The Loan Agreement provides for a working capital term loan (the “Term Loan”) of KRW 40,000,000,000 (approximately $29,835 thousand based on the KRW/USD exchange rate of

1,340.7:1

as of March 26, 2024 as quoted by KEB Hana Bank), which was funded in full to MSK on March 26, 2024.

The Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to the

3-month

CD rate quoted by KDB, plus 1.21%, which rate is adjusted quarterly. The initial interest rate on the Term Loan was 4.86% per annum. The Term Loan requires monthly interest-only payments and matures on March 26, 2027, at which time the full principal balance will be due and payable. All obligations of MSK under the Loan Agreement and the Term Loan are secured by the Fab 3 properties pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

As of September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal amount under the Term Loan was approximately $28,527 thousand.

CAPEX Loans

On December 16, 2024, MSK executed a Standard Credit Agreement (as amended) (together with its General Terms and Conditions, the “Equipment Financing Credit Agreement”) with KDB. In connection with the Equipment Financing Credit Agreement, on December 8, 2024, MSK also amended the

Agreement (the “Equipment Pledge Agreement”) with KDB, originally executed on or about March 26, 2024, to increase the maximum secured amount and to expand the scope of collateral to include certain machinery and equipment owned by MSK, which are located in its fabrication facility located in Gumi, Korea (“Fab 3 machinery and equipment”).

The Equipment Financing Credit Agreement provides for loans for MSK’s capital expenditures (the “CAPEX Loans”) up to an aggregate of KRW 38,000,000,000 ($26,523 thousand based on the KRW/USD exchange rate of 1,432.7:1 as of December 16, 2024 as quoted by KEB Hana Bank), which will be funded directly to capital expenditure supply vendors by KDB upon the submission of a request form by MSK with the necessary evidence such as purchase agreement, invoice and other documentation, as applicable.

The CAPEX Loans will bear interest at a fixed rate quoted by the treasury bond market yield (a six-year Korea treasury bill rate). CAPEX Loans mature in ten years from the initial loan disbursement date (the “Maturity Date”), with an initial

two-year

(measured from the first loan disbursement date) interest-only payment period during which only interest is paid monthly, followed by eight years of amortizing payments where the principal is repaid in equal installments every three months and interest is paid monthly. The Equipment Financing Credit Agreement contains customary representations of MSK in connection with the execution of the agreement and with each borrowing of CAPEX Loans and customary terms and conditions for a secured equipment financing loan of this type in Korea. All obligations of MSK under the Equipment Financing Credit Agreement and CAPEX Loans are secured by certain Fab 3 machinery and equipment pursuant to the Equipment Pledge Agreement.

As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the CAPEX Loans was approximately $10,408 thousand, which bears a weighted average interest rate of 2.66% per annum and matures on June 26, 2035.

  1. Early Termination and Other Charges

As of August 1, 2025, the Company implemented a voluntary resignation program (the “Program”) as part of its cost reduction initiatives to better align its spending level with a strategic focus on becoming a pure-play Power company. The shutdown of the Display business resulted in certain shared function positions becoming redundant, as those functions had supported both the Display and Power businesses. Under the Program, the Company recorded termination-related charges of $2,599 thousand in its consolidated statements of operations, classified as “early termination and other charges” for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $1,745 thousand of certain executive separation benefits and $496 thousand of

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share adjusts basic earnings (loss) per common share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options and restricted stock units. As the Company has reported loss from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and accordingly not considered, therefore basic loss per common share equals diluted loss per common share.

The following outstanding instruments were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share, as they have an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation:
