| Power Solutions Revenue Increased 19.1% Sequentially, 6.7% Year-Over-Year |
| Gross Margin Improved 100 BPS Sequentially, 200 BPS Year-Over-Year |

| Board Approves New $100 Million Stock Repurchase Program |
SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., July 30, 2013 MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (MagnaChip) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $215.3 million, a 4.9% increase compared to $205.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 and a 6.2% increase compared to $202.6 million for the second quarter of 2012.
Gross margin was $71.0 million or 33.0%, as a percent of revenue, for the second quarter of 2013. This compares to gross margin of $65.7 million or 32.0% for the first quarter of 2013 and $62.9 million or 31.0% for the second quarter of 2012.
Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $4.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $7.4 million or $0.21 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013 and a net income of $4.3 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.
We delivered solid results in the second quarter. Revenue of $215.3 million dollars was up 4.9% sequentially and up 6.2% year-over-year. Gross margin of 33.0% was up 100 basis points compared to last quarter and up 200 basis points compared to Q2 of last year, said Sang Park, MagnaChip Chairman and CEO. Were excited that our effort to focus on fast growing markets with our expanding list of innovative partners has enabled us to deliver ten consecutive quarters of meeting or exceeding our financial guidance, in spite of the recent soft demand from high-end smartphone makers.
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement, for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $26.2 million or $0.71 per diluted share compared to $19.7 million or $0.53 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013 and $17.9 million or $0.48 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.
Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, can provide a more meaningful understanding of the factors and trends affecting MagnaChips business and operations. However, such non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included following the financial statements.
Combined cash balances (cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash) totaled $192.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $9.6 million from the end of the prior quarter. Cash provided from operations totaled approximately $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2013.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expense (benefit), (iv) restructuring and impairment charges, (v) stock-based compensation expense, (vi) foreign currency loss, net, (vii) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, and (viii) secondary offering expense.
We present Adjusted Net Income as a further supplemental measure of our performance. We prepare Adjusted Net Income by adjusting net income 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 is particularly useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (i) restructuring and impairment charges, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) amortization of intangibles, (iv) foreign currency loss, net, (v) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (vi) secondary offering expense, and (vii) GAAP and cash tax expense difference.

MagnaChip Announces New Stock Repurchase Program
SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., July 30, 2013 MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (MagnaChip) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes MagnaChip to repurchase, from time to time, up to $100 million of its common stock in the period from August 5, 2013, through December 15, 2014. Such purchases may be made in the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The new repurchase program replaces MagnaChips existing repurchase program under which MagnaChip repurchased approximately 4.3 million common shares over six fiscal quarters.
The new stock repurchase program will be funded with MagnaChips cash on hand and does not obligate MagnaChip to repurchase a minimum number of shares. The program may be commenced, suspended, canceled or resumed at any time without prior notice. The timing and extent of any repurchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the trading price of MagnaChips common stock and other factors, and subject to contractual restrictions and restrictions under applicable law and regulations.
Sang Park, MagnaChip Chairman and CEO, commented, The adoption of the new stock repurchase program we are announcing today illustrates our confidence in the long-term growth prospects of our company and the strength and flexibility of our business model. The Board of Directors believes that our stock represents an attractive investment for MagnaChip and its investors, and expresses our ongoing commitment to increasing shareholder value.
