- 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 (“Power Analog Solutions”) products and develops Power integrated circuit (“IC”) products. Power Analog Solutions 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, home appliance, other consumer electronics, automotive and industrial applications such as power suppliers, e-bikes, photovoltaic 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 other 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 Analog Solutions and Power IC 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.
The December 31, 2025 balance sheet data was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 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, 2025.
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 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.
- Discontinued Operations
On March 7, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a strategy to transition to a pure-play Power company, focusing future investments on the Power Analog Solutions and Power IC businesses. In connection with this strategy, the Company evaluated various strategic alternatives for its Display business, including a sale, merger, joint venture, licensing, or wind-down; however, the Company was unable to complete a transaction 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 decision 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 Display business.

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 March 31, 2026, approximately $26,431 thousand aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan was outstanding, bearing interest at a variable rate of 4.06% per annum as of that date.
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 Kun-Pledge 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 have been and 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 bear interest at a fixed rate quoted by the treasury bond market yield (a six-year Korea treasury bill rate). The 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 the 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 the CAPEX Loans are secured by certain Fab 3 machinery and equipment pursuant to the Equipment Pledge Agreement.
During 2025, under its existing Equipment Financing Credit Agreement with KDB, MSK entered into three CAPEX Loans in the aggregate principal amount of KRW 23,995,000,000, consisting of (i) KRW 9,520,000,000 on June 26, 2025, (ii) KRW 5,075,000,000 on September 26, 2025, and (iii) KRW 9,400,000,000 on December 30, 2025 (approximately $15,855 thousand in the aggregate based on the KRW/USD exchange rate of 1,513.4:1 as of March 31, 2026, as quoted by KEB Hana Bank). The CAPEX Loans bear a weighted average interest rate of 2.91% per annum and mature on June 26, 2035.
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the CAPEX Loans was approximately $15,855 thousand, and the scheduled principal repayment amounts are as following (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31,2026 | March 31,2025 | |

| Income (Loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax | 50 | (4,827) |
| Net loss | $(4,647) | $(8,878) |

| Continuing operations | $(0.13) | $(0.11) |
| Discontinued operations | $0.00 | $(0.13) |
| Total | $(0.13) | $(0.24) |
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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31,2026 | March 31,2025 | |
| Options | 222,448 | 728,792 |
| Restricted Stock Units | 1,373,835 | 1,783,538 |
