Restatement Summary
In January 2014, the Audit Committee (the Audit Committee) of the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) commenced an internal investigation, with the assistance of outside professionals, into certain revenue recognition issues under United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) relating to sales of a discrete number of products sold through the Companys distributor network that arose during the 2013 year-end audit process (the Independent Investigation). During the process of the Independent Investigation, significant issues were identified based on which management also performed a Company-wide review of related accounting records. As a result, numerous accounting errors were identified and corrected related to, among other things, revenue recognition, cost of goods sold, inventory reserves, capitalization, expense recognition and allocation, as well as related business practices, for distributor, non-distributor customers and vendors, which are described in more detail in Note 2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements. The correction of these errors affected the financial statements as of and for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, including the stockholders equity balance as of January 1, 2011.
The Company considered information obtained during the Independent Investigation in making determinations with respect to accounting adjustments reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements contained in this 2013 Form 10-K, and the Companys determinations are consistent with the findings of the Independent Investigation. Adjustments identified by management were made to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the Restatement.

Our History
Our business was named MagnaChip Semiconductor when it was acquired from SK Hynix Inc., formerly known as Hynix Semiconductor, Inc. (SK Hynix), in October 2004. We refer to this acquisition as the Original Acquisition.
On March 10, 2011, we completed our initial public offering, which we refer to as the MagnaChip IPO. Prior to the MagnaChip IPO, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was converted to MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation. In order to consummate such a conversion, a certificate of conversion was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware prior to the effectiveness of the MagnaChip IPO registration statement. In connection with the corporate conversion, outstanding common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into shares of common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, outstanding options to purchase common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into options to purchase shares of common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation and outstanding warrants to purchase common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, all at a ratio of one share of common stock for eight common units. We refer to such transactions as the corporate conversion.
Avenue Capital Management II, L.P., or Avenue Capital Management, is a global investment management firm, and it and its affiliated funds specialize in investing in high yield debt, debt of insolvent or financially distressed companies and equity of companies undergoing financial or operational turnarounds or reorganizations. In this Report, we refer to funds affiliated with Avenue Capital Management collectively as Avenue. Avenue was a holder of a significant portion of our indebtedness which was outstanding prior to our 2009 reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which we refer to as our reorganization proceedings. In connection with our emergence from our reorganization proceedings, Avenue became our majority unitholder as a result of its participation in our rights offering in our reorganization proceedings.
As of December 31, 2013, Avenue beneficially owned 4,644,939 shares, or approximately 13.4%, of our outstanding common stock, including 555,961 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants that were currently exercisable as of such date. On November 9, 2014, all warrants to purchase our common stock previously held by Avenue expired. As of December 31, 2014, Avenue beneficially owned 4,088,978 shares, or approximately 12.0%, of our outstanding common stock.
Restatement
As discussed in the Explanatory Note and in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in this Report, our Audit Committee concluded that certain of the Companys previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of certain errors in those financial statements and would be restated. As a result of the Independent Investigation process, the Company has not filed a periodic report prior to the filing of this Report since November 2013. Because of the amount of time that has passed since the Companys last periodic report was filed with the SEC, the information relating to the Companys business contained in this Report has been updated in certain circumstances where the Company deemed appropriate to include certain information for periods after December 31, 2013.
Our Products and Services
Our Display Solutions line of products provide flat panel display solutions to all major suppliers of large and small flat panel displays, and include MagnaChip sensor products for mobile applications and industrial applications. These products include source and gate drivers and timing controllers that cover a wide range of flat panel displays used in UHD, HD, light emitting diode (LED), 3D and OLED televisions and displays, notebooks and mobile communications and entertainment devices. Our Display Solutions line of products support the industrys most advanced display technologies, such as active matrix organic light emitting diodes (AMOLEDs), and low temperature polysilicons (LTPS), as well as high-volume display technologies such as thin film transistors, or TFTs. MagnaChip sensor products are providing a full range of intelligent sensor product families featuring 0.18 micron analog and mixed-signal technology with low power consumption. The MagnaChip sensor families target the growing market for applications ranging from smartphone, tablet, navigation, industrial applications to medical devices.

Our Power Solutions products represented 18.4%, 15.5% and 11.8% of our net sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
3
We also offer semiconductor manufacturing services to fabless analog and mixed-signal semiconductor companies that require differentiated, specialty analog and mixed-signal process technologies. We believe the majority of our top twenty Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers use us as their primary manufacturing source for the products that we manufacture for them. Our process technologies are optimized for analog and mixed-signal devices and include standard complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS), high voltage CMOS, ultra-low leakage high voltage CMOS and bipolar complementary double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor (BCDMOS) and electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). Our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers use us to manufacture a wide range of products, including display drivers, LED drivers, audio encoding and decoding devices, microcontrollers, touch screen controllers, RF switches, park distance control sensors for automotive, electronic tag memories and power management semiconductors. Our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business represented 53.9%, 49.0% and 44.5% of our net sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
We manufacture all of our products at our three fabrication facilities located in Korea. We have approximately 377 proprietary process flows we can utilize for our products and offer to our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers. Our manufacturing base serves both our display driver and power management businesses and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers, allowing us to optimize our asset utilization and leverage our investments across our product and service offerings. Analog and mixed-signal manufacturing facilities and processes are typically distinguished by design and process implementation expertise rather than the use of the most advanced equipment. These processes also tend to migrate more slowly to smaller geometries due to technological barriers and increased costs. For example, some of our products use high-voltage technology that requires larger geometries and that may not migrate to smaller geometries for several years, if at all. As a result, our manufacturing base and strategy does not require substantial investment in leading edge process equipment, allowing us to utilize our facilities and equipment over an extended period of time with moderate required capital investments.
On December 4, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a plan to close the Companys six-inch fabrication facility in Cheongju, Korea (the 6-inch fab). This plan is expected to be substantially implemented and the 6-inch fab is expected to be closed by the end of fiscal year 2015. The Company plans to transfer the 6-inch fab employees to the Companys other facilities.
Market Opportunity
The consumer electronics market is large and growing rapidly. Growth in this market is being driven by consumers seeking to enjoy a wide variety of rich media content, such as high definition audio and video, mobile television and games. Consumer electronics manufacturers recognize that the consumer entertainment experience plays a critical role in differentiating their products. To address and further stimulate consumer demand, electronics manufacturers have been driving rapid advances in the technology, functionality, form factor, cost, quality, reliability and power consumption of their products. Electronics manufacturers are continuously implementing advanced technologies in new generations of electronic devices using analog and mixed-signal semiconductor components, such as display drivers that enable display of high resolution images, encoding and decoding devices that allow playback of high definition audio and video, and power management semiconductors that increase power efficiency, thereby reducing heat dissipation and extending battery life. These advanced generations of consumer devices are growing faster than the overall consumer electronics market. For example, according to Gartner, production of liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions, smartphones and tablet PCs is expected to grow from 2013 to 2016 by a compound annual growth rate of 3%, 16%, and 22%, respectively.
The user experience delivered by a consumer electronic device is substantially driven by the quality of the display, audio and video processing capabilities and power efficiency of the device. Analog and mixed-signal semiconductors enable and enhance these capabilities. Examples of these analog and mixed-signal semiconductors include display drivers, timing controllers, audio encoding and decoding devices, or codecs, and interface circuits, as well as power management semiconductors such as voltage regulators, converters and switches. According to Gartner, the worldwide semiconductor market in 2012 was $300 billion.
Requirements of Leading Consumer Electronics Manufacturers
We believe our target customers view the following characteristics and capabilities as key differentiating factors among available analog and mixed-signal semiconductor suppliers and manufacturing service providers:
| Broad Offering of Differentiated Products with Advanced System-Level Features and Functions. Leading consumer electronics manufacturers seek to differentiate their products by incorporating innovative semiconductor products that enable unique system-level functionality and enhance performance. These consumer electronics manufacturers seek to closely collaborate with semiconductor solutions providers that continuously develop new and advanced products, technologies, and manufacturing processes that enable state of the art features and functions, such as bright and thin displays, small form factor and energy efficiency. |

Display Solutions
Display Driver Characteristics. Display drivers deliver defined analog voltages and currents that activate pixels to exhibit images on displays. The following key characteristics determine display driver performance and end-market application:
| Resolution and Number of Channels. Resolution determines the level of detail displayed within an image and is defined by the number of pixels per line multiplied by the number of lines on a display. For large displays, higher resolution typically requires more display drivers for each panel. Display drivers that have a greater number of channels, however, generally require fewer display drivers for each panel and command a higher selling price per unit. Mobile displays, conversely, are typically single chip solutions designed to deliver a specific resolution. We cover resolutions ranging from WQVGA (240RGB x 432) to UHD (3840 x 2160). |
| Color Depth. Color depth is the number of colors that can be displayed on a panel. For example, for TFT-LCD panels, 262 thousand colors are supported by 6-bit source drivers; 16 million colors are supported by 8-bit source drivers; and 1 billion colors are supported by 10-bit source drivers. |
| Operational Voltage. Display drivers are characterized by input and output voltages. Source drivers typically operate at input voltages from 1.62 to 3.6 volts and output voltages between 9 and 18 volts. Gate drivers typically operate at input voltages from 1.8 to 3.6 volts and output voltages from 30 to 40 volts. Lower input voltage results in lower power consumption and electromagnetic interference (EMI). |
7
| Gamma Curve. The relationship between the light passing through a pixel and the voltage applied to the pixel by the source driver is referred to as the gamma curve. The gamma curve of the source driver can correct some imperfections in picture quality in a process generally known as gamma correction. Some advanced display drivers feature up to three independent gamma curves to facilitate this correction. |
| Driver Interface. Driver interface refers to the connection between the timing controller and the display drivers. Display drivers increasingly require higher bandwidth interface technology to address the larger data transfer rate necessary for higher definition images. The principal types of interface technologies are embedded clock point to point interface (EPI), advance intra panel interface (AIPI), mini-low voltage differential signaling (m-LVDS), ultra slim interface (USI) and mobile industry processor interface (MIPI). |
| Package Type. The assembly of display drivers typically uses chip-on-film (COF) and COG package types. |

Our worldwide workforce consisted of 3,479 employees (full- and part-time) as of December 31, 2013, of which 420 were involved in sales, marketing, general and administrative, 449 in research and development (including 237 with advanced degrees), 118 in quality, reliability and assurance and 2,492 in manufacturing (comprised of 369 in engineering and 2,123 in operations). As of December 31, 2013, 2,241 employees, or approximately 64% of our workforce, were represented by the MagnaChip Semiconductor Labor Union. As of December 31, 2014, our workforce consisted of 3,399 employees, of which 2,144 employees, or approximately 63% of our workforce, were represented by the MagnaChip Semiconductor Labor Union.
Environmental
We are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the generation, use, handling, storage and disposal of, and exposure to, hazardous substances (including asbestos) and waste, soil and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. For example, the Korean governments Enforcement Decree to the Framework Act on Low Carbon Green Growth became effective in April 2010. Certain designated businesses, including our Korean subsidiary, were required to submit plans to reduce greenhouse emissions and energy consumption. Our Korean subsidiary set emissions and consumption targets and in 2011 negotiated an implementation plan with Korean governmental authorities. Each year thereafter, our Korean subsidiary was required to agree on emissions and consumption targets with Korean governmental authorities and submit an independently verified report of prior years compliance. Beginning in 2015, our Korean subsidiary became subject to a new set of greenhouse gas emissions regulation, the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme, or K-ETS, under the Act on Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Allowances. Under K-ETS, our Korean subsidiary was allocated a certain amount of emissions allowance in accordance with the National Allocation Plan prepared by the Korean government and will be required to meet its allocated target by either reducing the emission or purchasing the allowances from other participants in the emission trading market. There can be no assurance that we have been or will be in compliance with all of these laws and regulations, or that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in connection with these laws and regulations in the future. The adoption of new environmental, health and safety laws and the failure to comply with new or existing laws or issues relating to hazardous substances could subject us to material liability (including substantial fines or penalties), impose the need for additional capital equipment or other process requirements upon us, curtail our operations or restrict our ability to expand operations.

Raw Materials
We use processes that require specialized raw materials that are generally available from a limited number of suppliers. We continue to attempt to qualify additional suppliers for our raw materials. The SEC, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, adopted new disclosure regulations for public companies that manufacture products containing certain minerals that are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. These conflict minerals are commonly found in metals used in the manufacture of semiconductors. The implementation of these new requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of metals used in the manufacture of our products. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessCompliance with new regulations regarding the use of conflict minerals could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain raw materials used in manufacturing our products.

Risks Related to the Restatement, Failure to File Timely Periodic Reports with the SEC and Our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We face risks related to the Restatement and being delayed in our SEC reporting obligations if we are unable to resume a timely filing schedule.
As discussed in this Report in the Explanatory Note and in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in this Report, our Audit Committee concluded that certain of the Companys previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of certain errors in those financial statements.
As a result of the Restatement, our SEC reporting obligations have been delayed prior to the filing date of this Report and the concurrent filing of our 2014 Form 10-Qs, and we cannot assure when we will resume a timely filing schedule with respect to our future SEC reports, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the 2014 Form 10-K), for which there is significant risk that we will be unable to timely file. Even after we complete this Report and the concurrent filing of our 2014 Form 10-Qs, we expect to continue to face many of the risks and challenges related to the Restatement, including the following:
| we may fail to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and other material weaknesses may be identified in the future, which would adversely affect the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting; |
16
| the processes undertaken to effect the Restatement may not have been adequate to identify and correct all errors in our historical financial statements and, as a result, we may discover additional errors and our financial statements remain subject to the risk of future restatement; |
| our failure to have current financial information available; |
| the risks associated with the failure to timely file all of our SEC reports and consequences of prior or future defaults arising under our bond indenture related to our reporting obligations contained therein; |
| the risk that the delay in filing our annual report and any failure to satisfy other New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing requirements could cause the NYSE to commence suspension or delisting procedures with respect to our common stock; |
| the outcome of litigation and claims as well as regulatory examinations, investigations, proceedings and orders arising out of the Restatement and the failure by the Company to file SEC reports on a timely basis; |
| further downgrades or withdrawals of our debt or financial strength credit ratings, which could adversely affect our relationships with distributors and reduce new sales and would increase our costs of, or reduce our access to, future borrowings; |
| our limitations in entering into certain foreign exchange hedging contracts due to our credit ratings or other issues related to the Restatement; |
| the incurrence of significant Restatement-related expenses; |
| diversion of management and other human resources attention from the operation of our business; and |
| the possible unavailability or higher costs of financing options to fund our ongoing operations or refinance existing indebtedness resulting from the Restatement and the delayed filing of this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs. |
We cannot assure that all of the risks and challenges described above will be eliminated and that lost business opportunities can be recaptured or that general reputational harm will not persist. If one or more of the foregoing risks or challenges persist, our business, operations and financial condition are likely to be materially and adversely affected.
We have concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which have adversely affected our ability to timely and accurately report our results of operations and financial condition. These material weaknesses have not been fully remediated as of the filing date of this Report and we cannot assure that other material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected.
As reported in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of this Report, we have concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2013. It is necessary for us to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting to prevent fraud and errors and to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures so that we can provide timely and reliable financial and other information. A failure to maintain adequate internal controls may adversely affect our ability to provide financial statements that accurately reflect our financial condition and report information on a timely basis. This could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, cause our securities to trade at a decreased price and cause an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. A failure to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could result in further restatements of financial statements and correction of other information filed with the SEC or otherwise made publicly available.
The processes undertaken to effect the Restatement may not have been adequate to identify and correct all errors in our historical financial statements and, as a result, we may discover additional errors and our financial statements remain subject to the risk of future restatement.
The completion of our Restatement involved many months of review and analysis, including highly technical analyses of our contracts and business practices, estimates and assumptions made by management, tax accounting and the proper application of relevant accounting rules and pronouncements. Many of the enhancements and changes to our processes are ongoing as of the filing date of this Report, and we continue to integrate the complex changes we have already made. Given the complexity and scope of these exercises, and notwithstanding the extensive time, effort and expense that went into them, we cannot assure that these processes were adequate to identify and correct all errors in our historical financial statements or that additional accounting errors will not come to light in the future in these or other areas.
While we have performed additional analyses and other procedures, and either implemented or plan to implement and test remediation measures as of the filing date of this Report, the previously identified material weaknesses have not been fully addressed and remediated. We continue to improve our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures by, among other things:
| implementing and maintaining a strong control environment, high ethical standards and financial reporting integrity, and communicating these enhanced standards to our employees through various means, including mandatory ethical compliance trainings for all employees; |
17
| building an environment that prioritizes compliance across the enterprise, placing special emphasis on improving internal audits and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); |
| improving our risk assessment process to identify, evaluate and report on risks related to the Companys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements; |
| implementing additional review of period-end adjusting entries with a detailed checklist, including the involvement of finance and operational executives, in order to strengthen controls over the completeness and accuracy of both recurring and non-recurring journal entries; |
| improving procedures with respect to the communication, approval, documentation and accounting review of deviations from written sales contracts, including by creating and implementing a new sub-certification process with our management group in order to identify (i) any sales transaction of which terms deviate from written sales contracts, (ii) concessions, and (iii) revisions to contractual terms and conditions; and |
| strengthening our accounting, finance and internal audit teams by hiring permanent personnel with extensive US GAAP experience, including by facilitating US GAAP training programs for relevant employees. |
As a result, we cannot assure that we will not discover additional errors, that future financial reports will not contain misstatements or omissions, that future restatements will not be required, or that we will be able to timely comply with our reporting obligations in the future, including with respect to our 2014 Form 10-K.
We may also be required to amend this Report and/or file other amended reports to effect the Restatement. This would require us to devote substantial internal and external resources and cause us to incur significant fees and expenses for additional audit services as well as accounting and other consulting services. These fees and expenses, as well as the substantial time devoted by our management to make such filings with the SEC, could have a material adverse effect on our business, profitability and financial condition.
The Restatement has caused substantial delays in filing this Report and other SEC periodic reports, which may result in future delays in our SEC reporting.
Our ability to resume a timely filing schedule with respect to our SEC reports is subject to a number of contingencies, including whether we continue to identify errors in our consolidated financial statements and effective remediation of the identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, including processes and training related thereto.
If we become delayed again in our SEC reporting obligations, investors would need to evaluate certain decisions with respect to our securities in light of a lack of current financial information. Accordingly, if in the future we are not current in our SEC reporting obligations, any investment in our securities would involve a greater degree of risk. Any such lack of current public information may have an adverse impact on investor confidence, which could lead to a reduction in our stock price and market capitalization and an increase in our cost of capital. In addition, if we become delayed again in our SEC reporting obligations, we will be precluded from registering our securities with the SEC for offer and sale. This may preclude us from raising debt or equity financing in the public markets and limit our access to the private markets and could also limit our ability to use stock options and other equity-based awards to attract, retain and provide incentives to our employees.
If we fail to timely file our 2014 Form 10-K or our other SEC reports, we may incur additional interest charges under the indenture governing our senior notes and/or our bondholders may seek to accelerate the principal amount of our senior notes, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The reporting covenant contained in the indenture relating to our outstanding 6.625% senior notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes) requires us to file certain quarterly, annual and current reports with the SEC within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and regulations applicable to such reports (subject in some cases to applicable extension periods). Additionally, under the Indenture, the trustee or the holders of 25% or more of the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Notes have the right to notify us if they believe we have breached a covenant under the Indenture and may, following any applicable cure periods, declare an event of default under the Indenture and cause the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Notes to become immediately due and payable.
Because of the delay in filing this Report and certain of our other SEC reports, the trustee under the indenture relating to the 2021 Notes sent notices of default under the indenture initiating the 60-day cure periods thereunder. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, we elected, for a period of up to 180 days after the initial event of default related to a breach of the reporting covenant, to pay additional interest on the 2021 Notes of 0.25% per annum. If we fail to timely file our 2014 Form 10-K or our other SEC reports, we could again be subject to conditional interest charges in the future. If any such future reporting failure continued past the 60-day cure period and the 180-day additional interest period, the 2021 Notes could be subject to acceleration by the trustee or the holders of 25% or more of the outstanding principal amount thereof. Any such acceleration would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
18
The delay in filing this Report with the SEC and any failure to satisfy other NYSE listing requirements could cause the NYSE to commence suspension or delisting procedures with respect to our common stock.
The Company was notified by the NYSE that, as a result of its failure to timely file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 with the SEC, it was subject to the procedures specified in Section 802.01E (SEC Annual Report Timely Filing Criteria) of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE. Pursuant to Section 802.01E, on September 5, 2014, the Company made a request to the NYSE that its shares be permitted to continue to trade on the NYSE for an additional six months while the Company completed its restatement of financial statements for prior periods and prepared this Report. On October 3, 2014, the NYSE notified the Company that its shares may continue to trade on the NYSE until April 1, 2015, subject to reassessment on an ongoing basis. We believe that the filing of this Report satisfies the NYSEs requirement to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Any other failure to satisfy NYSE listing requirements (including, among others, the filing of our 2014 Form 10-K within the grace period provided by the NYSE, if any), if not waived by the NYSE, could cause the NYSE to commence suspension or delisting procedures with respect to our common stock. The commencement of any suspension or delisting procedures and any actual suspension or delisting of our common stock by the NYSE remains, at all times, at the discretion of the NYSE and would be publicly announced by the NYSE. The delisting of our common stock from the NYSE may have a material adverse effect on us by, among other things, causing investors to dispose of our shares and limiting:
| the liquidity of our common stock; |
| the market price of our common stock; |
| the number of institutional and other investors that will consider investing in our common stock; |
| the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; |
| the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock; and |
| our ability to obtain equity or debt financing for the continuation of our operations. |
The outcome of litigation and other claims as well as regulatory examinations, investigations, proceedings and orders arising out of the Restatement and the failure by the Company to file SEC reports on a timely basis are unpredictable, and any orders, actions or rulings not in our favor could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
The circumstances which gave rise to the Restatement and the related SEC filing delays continue to create the risk of litigation and claims by investors and examinations, investigations, proceedings and orders by regulatory authorities, which could be expensive and damaging to our business and financial condition.
For example, following the Companys initial announcement of the restatement in March 2014, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of the Companys current and now-former officers. On September 30, 2014, an amended complaint was filed against the Company, certain current and now-former officers of the Company, certain members of the Companys Board of Directors and a shareholder of the Company, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
In addition, in March 2014, the Company voluntarily reported to the SEC that the Audit Committee had determined that the Company incorrectly recognized revenue on certain transactions and as a result would restate its financial statements, and that the Audit Committee had commenced the Independent Investigation. Over the course of 2014, the Company voluntarily produced documents to the SEC regarding the various accounting issues identified during the Independent Investigation, and whether the Companys hiring of an accountant from the Companys independent registered public accounting firm impacted that accounting firms independence. On July 22, 2014, the Staff of the SECs Division of Enforcement obtained a Formal Order of Investigation. The Company will continue to cooperate with the SEC in this investigation. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Restatement and the failure by the Company to timely file certain of its SEC reports, as well as the reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, may subject the Company to a broad range of potential actions that may be taken against the Company by the staff of the SEC, including a cease and desist order, suspension of trading of our securities, deregistration of our securities and/or the assessment of possible civil monetary penalties.
Any orders, actions or rulings relating to any of the foregoing that are not in our favor could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
19
The events that caused the need for this Restatement and the failure to timely file this Report and certain of our other SEC reports have resulted in certain rating agencies downgrading our credit and debt ratings, and further credit rating downgrades of our debt or financial strength ratings or withdrawal of these ratings are possible. These downgrades or withdrawals could adversely affect our relationships with customers, suppliers and distributors, adversely affect our operating results, and increase our costs of, or reduce our access to, future borrowings.
Rating agencies assign us debt ratings, based in each case on their opinions of the Companys ability to meet its respective financial obligations.
Our ratings relative to our competitors may affect our competitive position. The Company and its debt securities have been placed on negative credit ratings watch and/or downgraded by certain rating agencies in connection with the events that caused the need for this Restatement and the failure to timely file this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs. These recent developments and any future rating downgrades or withdrawals of ratings may cause reputational damage, which could materially and adversely affect our relationships with our customers, suppliers and distributors, as well as our ability to borrow. At this time we cannot predict what further actions rating agencies may take, or what actions we may take in response, but these downgrades and/or future downgrades and withdrawals could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, hedging activities, cost of capital and liquidity.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to the Restatement, the remediation of deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, preparation of this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs and related investigation and defense costs.
We have devoted and expect to continue to devote substantial internal and external resources to remediation efforts relating to the Restatement and the preparation and filing of this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs. As a result of these efforts, we have incurred and expect that we will continue to incur significant incremental fees and expenses for additional auditor services, financial and other consulting services, legal services and additional interest payments, as well as the implementation and maintenance of systems and processes that will need to be updated, supplemented or replaced. These expenses, as well as the substantial time devoted by our management towards identifying and addressing any internal weaknesses, could have a material adverse effect on our business, profitability and financial condition.
The Restatement process and the preparation of this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs have diverted management and other human resources from the operation of our business. The absence of timely and accurate financial information has hindered and may in the future hinder our ability to effectively manage the business of the Company.
The Restatement process and the preparation of this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs have diverted, and continue to divert, management and other human resources from the operation of our business. The Board of Directors, members of management, and the accounting, legal, administrative and other staff of the Company have spent, and continue to spend, significant time on the Restatement preparation of this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs, related disclosures and remediation of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its subsidiaries. These resources have been, and will likely continue to be, diverted from the strategic and day-to-day management of our business and may have an adverse effect on our ability to accomplish the strategic objectives of the Company.
The Restatement and the delayed filing of this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs could adversely impact our ability to access the capital markets and other financing arrangements.
Our ability to obtain financing, if needed, depends upon many factors, including our business prospects and creditworthiness as well as external economic conditions and general liquidity in the credit and capital markets. In light of the Restatement and the delay in filing this Report and the 2014 Form 10-Qs, we may be unable, if needed, to secure outside financing to fund ongoing operations and for other capital needs, including the refinancing of our 2021 Notes if necessary. Any sources of financing that may be available to us could also be at higher costs and require us to satisfy more restrictive covenants, which could limit or restrict our operations, cash flows and earnings. We cannot assure that additional financing would be available to us, or be sufficient or available on satisfactory terms. In addition, unless all current periodic reports and financial statements are filed with the SEC, we will be precluded from registering our securities with the SEC for offer and sale, and the failure to timely file our SEC reports will limit our ability to use short-form Form S-3 registration statements for registering our securities for sale with the SEC until we again meet the timely filing requirements of those forms.
Our current credit ratings may also limit our access to external sources of liquidity and financing. Our ongoing needs for liquidity include interest payments on our 2021 Notes and our operating and capital expenses. In addition, we may from time to time have discrete or unexpected needs for liquidity. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash from operations and financing activities. We do not have in place credit facilities or letters of credit that we could draw upon to meet our liquidity requirements. Without sufficient liquidity, we could be forced to realize investment losses, deplete capital or curtail capital expenditures or certain of our operations, which would adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Business
We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns that may negatively impact our results of operations.
The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and is characterized by constant and rapid technological change and price erosion, evolving technical standards, short product life cycles (for semiconductors and for the end-user products in which they are used) and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. From time to time, these and other factors, together with changes in general economic conditions, cause significant upturns and downturns in the industry in general and in our business in particular. Periods of industry downturns, including the recent economic downturn, have been characterized by diminished demand for end-user products, high inventory levels, underutilization of manufacturing capacity, changes in revenue mix and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. We have experienced these conditions in our business in the past and may experience renewed, and possibly more severe and prolonged, downturns in the future as a result of such cyclical changes. This may reduce our results of operations.
We base our planned operating expenses in part on our expectations of future revenue, and a significant portion of our expenses is relatively fixed in the short term. If revenue for a particular quarter is lower than we expect, we likely will be unable to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that quarter, which would harm our operating results for that quarter.
If we fail to develop new products and process technologies or enhance our existing products and services in order to react to rapid technological change and market demands, our business will suffer.
Our industry is subject to constant and rapid technological change and product obsolescence as customers and competitors create new and innovative products and technologies. Products or technologies developed by other companies may render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive, and we may not be able to access advanced process technologies, including smaller geometries, or to license or otherwise obtain essential intellectual property required by our customers.
We must develop new products and services and enhance our existing products and services to meet rapidly evolving customer requirements. We design products for customers who continually require higher performance and functionality at lower costs. We must, therefore, continue to enhance the performance and functionality of our products. The development process for these advancements is lengthy and requires us to accurately anticipate technological changes and market trends. Developing and enhancing these products is uncertain and can be time-consuming, costly and complex. If we do not continue to develop and maintain process technologies that are in demand by our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers, we may be unable to maintain existing customers or attract new customers.
Customer and market requirements can change during the development process. There is a risk that these developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet customer or market specifications or not be competitive with products or services from our competitors that offer comparable or superior performance and functionality. Any new products, such as our expanding line of power management solutions, or product or service enhancements, may not be accepted in new or existing markets. Our business will suffer if we fail to develop and introduce new products and services or product and service enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis.
We manufacture our products based on our estimates of customer demand, and if our estimates are incorrect, our financial results could be negatively impacted.
We make significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that we will seek and accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, personnel needs and other resource requirements, based on our estimates of customer demand and expected demand for and success of their products. The short-term nature of commitments by many of our customers and the possibility of rapid changes in demand for their products reduces our ability to estimate accurately future customer demand for our products. On occasion, customers may require rapid increases in supply, which can challenge our production resources and reduce margins. We may not have sufficient capacity at any given time to meet our customers increased demand for our products. Conversely, downturns in the semiconductor industry have caused and may in the future cause our customers to reduce significantly the amount of products they order from us. Because many of our costs and operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand would decrease our results of operations, including our gross profit.
Our customers may cancel their orders, reduce quantities or delay production, which would adversely affect our margins and results of operations.
We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Customers may cancel their orders, reduce quantities or delay production for a number of reasons. Cancellations, reductions or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers, which we have experienced as a result of periodic downturns in the semiconductor industry, or failure to achieve design-wins, have affected and may continue to affect our results of operations adversely. These risks are exacerbated because many of our products are customized, which hampers our ability to sell excess inventory to the general market. We may incur charges resulting from the write-off of obsolete inventory. In addition, while we do not obtain long-term purchase commitments, we generally agree to the pricing of a particular product over a set period of time. If we underestimate our costs when determining pricing, our margins and results of operations would be adversely affected.
21
We depend on high utilization of our manufacturing capacity, a reduction of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and the results of our operations.
An important factor in our success is the extent to which we are able to utilize the available capacity in our fabrication facilities. As many of our costs are fixed, a reduction in capacity utilization, as well as changes in other factors, such as reduced yield or unfavorable product mix, could reduce our profit margins and adversely affect our operating results. A number of factors and circumstances may reduce utilization rates, including periods of industry overcapacity, low levels of customer orders, operating inefficiencies, mechanical failures and disruption of operations due to expansion or relocation of operations, power interruptions and fire, flood or other natural disasters or calamities. The potential delays and costs resulting from these steps could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of our sales comes from a relatively limited number of customers, the loss of which would adversely affect our financial results.
Historically, we have relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our total revenue. If we were to lose key customers or if customers cease to place orders for our high-volume products or services, our financial results would be adversely affected. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, our ten largest customers accounted for 59%, 61% and 60% of our net sales, respectively. Substantially all of our sales to these customers are in our Display Solutions line. For the year ended December 31, 2013, sales to Samsung Display Corporation represented 11.3% of the Companys net sales and 40.9% of our Display Solutions divisions net sales. For the year ended December 31, 2012, sales to LG Display represented 11.5% of the Companys net sales and 31.9% of our Display Solutions divisions net sales. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, especially our few largest customers, the loss of other major customers or a general curtailment in orders for our high-volume products or services within a short period of time would adversely affect our business.
The average selling prices of our semiconductor products have at times declined rapidly and will likely do so in the future, which could harm our revenue and gross profit.
The semiconductor products we develop and sell are subject to rapid declines in average selling prices. From time to time, we have had to reduce our prices significantly to meet customer requirements, and we may be required to reduce our prices in the future. This would cause our gross profit to decrease. Our financial results will suffer if we are unable to offset any reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volumes, reducing our costs or developing new or enhanced products on a timely basis with higher selling prices or gross profit.
Our industry is highly competitive, and our ability to compete could be negatively impacted by a variety of factors.
The semiconductor industry is highly competitive and includes hundreds of companies, a number of which have achieved substantial market share within both our product categories and end markets. Current and prospective customers for our products and services evaluate our capabilities against the merits of our competitors. Some of our competitors are well established as independent companies and have substantially greater market share and manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing resources than we do. We also compete with emerging companies that are attempting to sell their products in certain of our end markets and with the internal semiconductor design and manufacturing capabilities of many of our significant customers. We expect to experience continuing competitive pressures in our markets from existing competitors and new entrants.
Any consolidation among our competitors could enhance their product offerings and financial resources, further enhancing their competitive position. Our ability to compete will depend on a number of factors, including the following:
| our ability to offer cost-effective and high quality products and services on a timely basis using our technologies; |
| our ability to accurately identify and respond to emerging technological trends and demand for product features and performance characteristics; |
| our ability to continue to rapidly introduce new products that are accepted by the market; |
| our ability to adopt or adapt to emerging industry standards; |
| the number and nature of our competitors and competitiveness of their products and services in a given market; |
| entrance of new competitors into our markets; |
| our ability to enter the highly competitive power management market; and |
| our ability to continue to offer in demand semiconductor manufacturing services at competitive prices. |
22
Many of these factors are outside of our control. In the future, our competitors may replace us as a supplier to our existing or potential customers, and our customers may satisfy more of their requirements internally. As a result, we may experience declining revenues and results of operations.
Changes in demand for consumer electronics in our end markets can impact our results of operations.
Demand for our products will depend in part on the demand for various consumer electronics products, in particular, mobile phones and multimedia devices, digital televisions, flat panel displays, mobile PCs and digital cameras, which in turn depends on general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control. If our customers fail to introduce new products that employ our products or component parts, demand for our products will suffer. To the extent that we cannot offset periods of reduced demand that may occur in these markets through greater penetration of these markets or reduction in our production and costs, our sales and gross profit may decline, which would negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to achieve design-wins for our semiconductor products, we may lose the opportunity for sales to customers for a significant period of time and be unable to recoup our investments in our products.
We expend considerable resources on winning competitive selection processes, known as design-wins, to develop semiconductor products for use in our customers products. These selection processes are typically lengthy and can require us to incur significant design and development expenditures. We may not win the competitive selection process and may never generate any revenue despite incurring significant design and development expenditures. Once a customer designs a semiconductor into a product, that customer is likely to continue to use the same semiconductor or enhanced versions of that semiconductor from the same supplier across a number of similar and successor products for a lengthy period of time due to the significant costs associated with qualifying a new supplier and potentially redesigning the product to incorporate a different semiconductor. If we fail to achieve initial design-wins in a customers qualification process, we may lose the opportunity for significant sales to that customer for a number of products and for a lengthy period of time. This may cause us to be unable to recoup our investments in our semiconductor products, which would harm our business.
We have lengthy and expensive design-to-mass production and manufacturing process development cycles that may cause us to incur significant expenses without realizing meaningful sales, the occurrence of which would harm our business.
The cycle time from the design stage to mass production for some of our products is long and requires the investment of significant resources with many potential customers without any guarantee of sales. Our design-to-mass production cycle typically begins with a three-to-twelve month semiconductor development stage and test period followed by a three-to-twelve month end-product qualification period by our customers. The fairly lengthy front end of our sales cycle creates a risk that we may incur significant expenses but may be unable to realize meaningful sales. Moreover, prior to mass production, customers may decide to cancel their products or change production specifications, resulting in sudden changes in our product specifications, increasing our production time and costs. Failure to meet such specifications may also delay the launch of our products or result in lost sales.
In addition, we collaborate and jointly develop certain process technologies and manufacturing process flows customized for certain of our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers. To the extent that our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers fail to achieve market acceptance for their products, we may be unable to recoup our engineering resources commitment and our investment in process technology development, which would harm our business.
Research and development investments may not yield profitable and commercially viable product and service offerings and thus will not necessarily result in increases in revenues for us.
We invest significant resources in our research and development. Our research and development efforts, however, may not yield commercially viable products or enhance our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services offerings. During each stage of research and development, there is a substantial risk that we will have to abandon a potential product or service offering that is no longer marketable and in which we have invested significant resources. In the event we are able to develop viable new products or service offerings, a significant amount of time will have elapsed between our investment in the necessary research and development effort and the receipt of any related revenues.
We face numerous challenges relating to executing our growth strategy, and if we are unable to execute our growth strategy effectively, our business and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
Our growth strategy is to leverage our advanced analog and mixed-signal technology platform, continue to innovate and deliver new products and services, increase business with existing customers, broaden our customer base, aggressively grow our power business, drive execution excellence and focus on specialty process technologies. If we are unable to execute our growth strategy effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, execute our business plan or respond to competitive pressures. Moreover, if our allocation of resources does not correspond with future demand for particular products, we could miss market opportunities and our business and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
23
We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations, and changes in the exchange rates of applicable currencies could impact our results of operations.
Historically, a portion of our revenues and greater than the majority of our operating expenses and costs of sales have been denominated in non-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, 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, a 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. For example, foreign currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact on our reported profit margins and operating income from operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. As a result of 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 or the price of the 2021 Notes could be adversely affected.
From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. Our Korean subsidiary enters into foreign currency option, forward and zero cost collar contracts in order to mitigate a portion of the impact of U.S. dollar-Korean won exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. These foreign currency option, forward and zero cost collar contracts typically require us to sell specified notional amounts in U.S. dollars and provide us the option to sell specified notional amounts in U.S. dollars during successive months to our counterparty in exchange for Korean won at specified exchange rates. Obligations under these foreign currency option, forward and zero cost collar contracts must be cash collateralized if our exposure exceeds certain specified thresholds. These option, forward and zero cost collar contracts may be terminated by the counterparty in a number of circumstances, including if our long-term debt rating falls below B-/B3 or if our total cash and cash equivalents is less than $30 million at the end of a fiscal quarter. We cannot assure that any hedging technique we implement will be effective. If our hedging activities are not effective, changes in currency exchange rates may have a more significant impact on our results of operations. See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsFactors Affecting our Results of Operations for further details.
As of December 31, 2013, we were engaged in exchange rate hedging activities as described in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary DataNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 9. Derivative Financial Instruments. The hedging instruments expired on schedule or were terminated early prior to December 31, 2014, as described in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary DataNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 25. Subsequent EventsEarly termination of derivative contracts. As a result of the Restatement and rating agency downgrades, certain hedging arrangements became unavailable to us. Accordingly, our operating performance would be affected negatively if the Korean won appreciates against the U.S. dollar. Despite the completion of the Restatement, we cannot assure that such hedging arrangements may become available to us in the near future.
The loss of our key employees would materially adversely affect our business, and we may not be able to attract or retain the technical or management employees necessary to compete in our industry.
Our key executives have substantial experience and have made significant contributions to our business, and our continued success is dependent upon the retention of our key management executives. The loss of such key personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain skilled technical and managerial personnel. We do not know whether we will be able to retain all of these employees as we continue to pursue our business strategy. The loss of the services of key employees, especially our key design and technical personnel, or our inability to retain, attract and motivate qualified design and technical personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This could hinder our research and product development programs or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we encounter future labor problems, we may fail to deliver our products and services in a timely manner, which would adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
As of December 31, 2014, 2,144 employees, or approximately 63% of our employees, were represented by the MagnaChip Semiconductor Labor Union. We can offer no assurance that any issues with the labor union and other employees will be resolved favorably for us in the future, that we will not experience work stoppages or other labor problems in future years or that we will not incur significant expenses related to such issues.
We may incur costs to engage in future business combinations or strategic investments, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of those transactions.
As part of our business strategy, we may seek to enter into business combinations, investments, joint ventures and other strategic alliances with other companies in order to maintain and grow revenue and market presence as well as to provide us with access to technology, products and services. Any such transaction would be accompanied by risks that may harm our business, such as difficulties in assimilating the operations, personnel and products of an acquired business or in realizing the projected benefits, disruption of our ongoing business, potential increases in our indebtedness and contingent liabilities and charges if the acquired company or assets are later determined to be worth less than the amount paid for them in an earlier original acquisition. In addition, our indebtedness may restrict us from making acquisitions that we may otherwise wish to pursue.
24
The failure to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields could adversely affect our business.
The manufacture of semiconductors involves highly complex processes that require precision, a highly regulated and sterile environment and specialized equipment. Defects or other difficulties in the manufacturing process can prevent us from achieving acceptable yields in the manufacture of our products or those of our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers, which could lead to higher costs, a loss of customers or delay in market acceptance of our products. Slight impurities or defects in the photomasks used to print circuits on a wafer or other factors can cause significant difficulties, particularly in connection with the production of a new product, the adoption of a new manufacturing process or any expansion of our manufacturing capacity and related transitions. We may also experience manufacturing problems in achieving acceptable yields as a result of, among other things, transferring production to other facilities, upgrading or expanding existing facilities or changing our process technologies. Yields below our target levels can negatively impact our gross profit and may cause us to eliminate underperforming products.
We rely on a number of independent subcontractors and the failure of any of these independent subcontractors to perform as required could adversely affect our operating results.
A substantial portion of our net sales are derived from semiconductor devices assembled in packages or on film. The packaging and testing of semiconductors require technical skill and specialized equipment. For the portion of packaging and testing that we outsource, we use subcontractors located in Korea, China, Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand. We rely on these subcontractors to package and test our devices with acceptable quality and yield levels. We could be adversely affected by political disorders, labor disruptions and natural disasters where our subcontractors are located. If our semiconductor packagers and test service providers experience problems in packaging and testing our semiconductor devices, experience prolonged quality or yield problems or decrease the capacity available to us, our operating results could be adversely affected.
We depend on successful parts and materials procurement for our manufacturing processes, and a shortage or increase in the price of these materials could interrupt our operations and result in a decline of revenues and results of operations.
We procure materials and electronic and mechanical components from international sources and original equipment manufacturers. We use a wide range of parts and materials in the production of our semiconductors, including silicon, processing chemicals, processing gases, precious metals and electronic and mechanical components, some of which, such as silicon wafers, are specialized raw materials that are generally only available from a limited number of suppliers. We do not have long-term agreements providing for all of these materials; thus, if demand increases or supply decreases for any reason, the costs of our raw materials could significantly increase. For example, worldwide supplies of silicon wafers, an important raw material for the semiconductors we manufacture, were constrained in recent years due to an increased demand for silicon. Silicon is also a key raw material for solar cells, the demand for which has increased in recent years. Although supplies of silicon have recently improved due to the entrance of additional suppliers and capacity expansion by existing suppliers, we cannot assure that such supply increases will match demand increases. If we cannot obtain adequate materials in a timely manner or on favorable terms for the manufacture of our products, revenues and results of operations will decline.
Compliance with new regulations regarding the use of conflict minerals could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain raw materials used in manufacturing our products.
The SEC, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, adopted new disclosure regulations for public companies that manufacture products containing certain minerals that are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. These conflict minerals are commonly found in metals used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Manufacturers are also required to disclose their efforts to prevent the sourcing of such minerals and metals produced from them. The implementation of these new requirements could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of metals used in the manufacture of our products. We may also incur additional costs to comply with the disclosure requirements, including costs related to determining the source of any of the relevant minerals used in our products. We may also face difficulties in satisfying customers who may require that our products be certified as free of conflict materials, which could harm our relationships with these customers and lead to a loss of revenue.
We face warranty claims, product return, litigation and liability risks and the risk of negative publicity if our products fail.
Our semiconductors are incorporated into a number of end products, and our business is exposed to product return, warranty and product liability risk and the risk of negative publicity if our products fail. Although we maintain insurance for product liability claims, the amount and scope of our insurance may not be adequate to cover a product liability claim that is asserted against us. In addition, product liability insurance could become more expensive and difficult to maintain and, in the future, may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
In addition, we are exposed to the product liability risk and the risk of negative publicity affecting our customers. Our sales may decline if any of our customers are sued on a product liability claim. We also may suffer a decline in sales from the negative
25
publicity associated with such a lawsuit or with adverse public perceptions in general regarding our customers products. Further, if our products are delivered with impurities or defects, we could incur additional development, repair or replacement costs, and our credibility and the markets acceptance of our products could be harmed.
We could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences as a result of changes in, or differences in the interpretation of, applicable tax laws.
Our company organizational structure was created in part based on certain interpretations and conclusions regarding various tax laws, including withholding tax and other tax laws of applicable jurisdictions. Our interpretations and conclusions regarding tax laws, however, are not binding on any taxing authority and, if these interpretations and conclusions are incorrect, if our business were to be operated in a way that rendered us ineligible for tax exemptions or caused us to become subject to incremental tax, or if the authorities were to change, modify or have a different interpretation of the relevant tax laws, we could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences, and the anticipated benefits of our organizational structure could be materially impaired.
Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and know-how, as well as our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.
We seek to protect our proprietary technologies and know-how through the use of patents, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other security measures. The process of seeking patent protection takes a long time and is expensive. There can be no assurance that patents will issue from pending or future applications or that, if patents issue, they will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights granted under the patents will provide us with meaningful protection or any commercial advantage. Some of our technologies are not covered by any patent or patent application. The confidentiality agreements on which we rely to protect these technologies may be breached and may not be adequate to protect our proprietary technologies. We cannot assure that other countries in which we market our services will protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States. In particular, the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property in China, where we derive a significant portion of our net sales, and certain other countries where we derive net sales, are uncertain and still evolving and historically have not protected, and may not protect in the future, intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws and enforcement procedures in the United States.
Our ability to compete successfully depends on our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We have no means of knowing what patent applications have been filed in the United States until they are published. In addition, the semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. We may need to file lawsuits to enforce our patents or intellectual property rights, and we may need to defend against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our resources. Despite our efforts in bringing or defending lawsuits, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may be required to:
| pay substantial damages or indemnify customers or licensees for damages they may suffer if the products they purchase from us or the technology they license from us violate the intellectual property rights of others; |
| stop our manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products; |
| expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing technologies; |
| discontinue processes; or |
| obtain licenses to the intellectual property we are found to have infringed. |
There can be no assurance that we would be successful in such development or acquisition or that such licenses would be available under reasonable terms, or at all. The termination of key third-party licenses relating to the use of intellectual property in our products and our design processes, such as our agreements with Silicon Works Co., Ltd. and ARM Limited, would materially and adversely affect our business.
Our competitors may develop, patent or gain access to know-how and technology similar to our own. In addition, many of our patents are subject to cross licenses, several of which are with our competitors.
Our expenses could increase if SK Hynix were unwilling or unable to provide certain services related to our shared facilities with SK Hynix, and if SK Hynix were to become insolvent, we could lose certain of our leases.
We are party to a land lease and easement agreement with SK Hynix pursuant to which we lease the land for our facilities in Cheongju, Korea. If this agreement were terminated for any reason, including the insolvency of SK Hynix, we would have to renegotiate new lease terms with SK Hynix or the new owner of the land. We cannot assure that we will be able to negotiate new lease terms on favorable terms or at all. Because we share certain facilities with SK Hynix, several services that are essential to our business are provided to us by or through SK Hynix under our general service supply agreement with SK Hynix. These services include electricity, bulk gases and de-ionized water, campus facilities and housing, wastewater and sewage management, environmental safety and certain utilities and infrastructure support services. If any of our agreements with SK Hynix were terminated or if SK Hynix were unwilling or unable to fulfill its obligations to us under the terms of these agreements, we would have to procure these services on our own and as a result may experience an increase in our expenses.
26
We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations that could affect our operations or result in significant expenses.
We are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the generation, use, handling, storage and disposal of, and exposure to, hazardous substances (including asbestos) and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. There can be no assurance that we have been, or will be, in compliance with all such laws and regulations or that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in connection with these laws and regulations in the future. The adoption of new environmental, health and safety laws, the failure to comply with new or existing laws, or issues relating to hazardous substances could subject us to material liability (including substantial fines or penalties), impose the need for additional capital equipment or other process requirements upon us, curtail our operations or restrict our ability to expand operations.
Our Korean subsidiary has been designated as a regulated business under Korean environmental law, and such designation could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
In April 2010, the Korean governments Enforcement Decree to the Framework Act on Low Carbon Green Growth became effective. Certain designated businesses, including our Korean subsidiary, were required to submit plans to reduce greenhouse emissions and energy consumption. Our Korean subsidiary first set emissions and consumption targets in 2011 and negotiated an implementation plan with Korean governmental authorities. Each year thereafter, our Korean subsidiary was required to agree on emissions and consumption targets with Korean governmental authorities and submit an independently verified report of prior years compliance. Beginning in 2015, our Korean subsidiary became subject to K-ETS, a new set of greenhouse gas emissions regulation, under the Act on Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Allowances. Under K-ETS, our Korean subsidiary was allocated a certain amount of emissions allowance in accordance with the National Allocation Plan prepared by the Korean government, and will be required to meet its allocated target by either reducing the emission or purchasing the allowances from other participants in the emission trading market. If the targets currently allocated to our Korean subsidiary by Korean governmental authorities require us to reduce our emissions or energy consumption, we could be subject to additional and potentially costly compliance or remediation expenses, including potentially the installation of equipment and changes in the type of materials we use in manufacturing, as well as cost of procuring emission allowances to cover the excess emissions, which could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
We may need additional capital in the future, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may require more capital in the future from equity or debt financings to fund operating expenses, such as research and development costs, finance investments in equipment and infrastructure, acquire complementary businesses and technologies, and respond to competitive pressures and potential strategic opportunities. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new shares we issue could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. Also, additional capital may not be available when needed or, if available, may not be available on favorable terms. In addition, our indebtedness limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness under certain circumstances. If we are unable to obtain capital on favorable terms, or if we are unable to obtain capital at all, we may have to reduce our operations or forego opportunities, and this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business depends on international customers, suppliers and operations in Asia, and as a result we are subject to regulatory, operational, financial and political risks, which could adversely affect our financial results.
We rely on, and expect to continue to rely on, suppliers, subcontractors and operations located primarily in Asia. As a result, we face risks inherent in international operations, such as unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other market barriers, political, social and economic instability, adverse tax consequences, war, civil disturbances and acts of terrorism, difficulties in accounts receivable collection, extended payment terms and differing labor standards, enforcement of contractual obligations and protection of intellectual property. These risks may lead to increased costs or decreased revenue growth, or both. Although we do not derive any revenue from, nor sell any products in, North Korea, any future increase in tensions between South Korea and North Korea that may occur, such as an outbreak of military hostilities, would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Tensions with North Korea could have an adverse effect on us and the market value of our shares.
Relations between South Korea and North Korea have been tense throughout Koreas modern history. The level of tension between the two Koreas has fluctuated and may increase abruptly as a result of current and future events. In particular, since the death of Kim Jong-il, the former North Korean ruler, in mid-December 2011, there has been increased uncertainty with respect to
27
the future of North Koreas political leadership and concern regarding its implications for political and economic stability in the region. In addition, in recent years, there have been heightened security concerns stemming from North Koreas nuclear weapon and long-range missile programs and increased uncertainty regarding North Koreas actions and possible responses from the international community. North Koreas economy also faces severe challenges, and any adverse economic developments may further aggravate social and political tensions within North Korea.
Although we do not derive any revenue from, nor sell any products in, North Korea, any future increase in tensions between South Korea and North Korea that may occur, for example, if North Korea experiences a leadership crisis, high-level contacts between South Korea and North Korea break down, or military hostilities occur, could have a material adverse effect on the South Korean economy and on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market value of our common stock.
You may not be able to bring an action or enforce any judgment obtained in United States courts, or bring an action in any other jurisdiction, against us or our subsidiaries or our directors, officers or independent auditors that are organized or residing in jurisdictions other than the United States.
Most of our subsidiaries are organized or incorporated outside of the United States and some of our executive officers as well as our independent auditors are organized or reside outside of the United States. Most of our and our subsidiaries assets are located outside of the United States and in particular, in Korea. Accordingly, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or our subsidiaries may not be collectible in the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against them or us court judgments obtained in the United States that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States. In particular, there is doubt as to the enforceability in Korea or any other jurisdictions outside the United States, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated on the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.
Our level of indebtedness is substantial, and we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful. A decline in the ratings of our existing or future indebtedness may make the terms of any new indebtedness we choose to incur more costly.
As of December 31, 2013, our total indebtedness was $223.9 million, net of unamortized discount of $1.1 million. We are permitted under the indenture governing our outstanding 2021 Notes to incur additional debt under certain conditions, including additional secured debt. If new debt were to be incurred in the future, the related risks that we now face could intensify. Our substantial debt could have important consequences, including:
| resulting in an event of default if we fail to satisfy our obligations under our outstanding 2021 Notes or our other debt or fail to comply with the financial or other restricted covenants contained in the indenture governing our outstanding 2021 Notes or agreements governing our other indebtedness, which event of default could result in all of our debt becoming immediately due and payable and could permit our lenders to foreclose on the assets securing any such debt; |
| increasing our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions; |
| requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities; |
| limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; |
| limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who have less debt; and |
| negatively affecting our ability to fund a change of control offer. |
Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure that we will generate a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.
The credit ratings assigned to our debt reflect each rating agencys opinion of our ability to make payments on the debt obligations when such payments are due. The rating of our outstanding 2021 Notes as of December 2014 is Caa1 by Moodys and B+ by Standard and Poors, both of which are below investment grade. A rating may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. We may experience downgrades in our debt ratings in the future. Any lowering of our debt ratings would adversely impact our ability to raise additional debt financing and increase the cost of any such financing that is obtained. In the event any ratings downgrades are significant, we may choose not to incur new debt or refinance existing debt if we are unable to incur or refinance such debt at favorable interest rates or on favorable terms.
28
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations or if we are unable to refinance existing indebtedness on favorable terms, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and thus render us unable to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. The indenture governing our outstanding 2021 Notes restricts our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or be able to obtain the proceeds which we could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.
We are a holding company and will depend on the business of our subsidiaries to satisfy our obligations under our outstanding 2021 Notes and other obligations.
We are a holding company with no independent operations of our own. Our subsidiaries conduct substantially all of the operations necessary to fund payments on our outstanding 2021 Notes, other debt and any other obligations. Our ability to make payments on our outstanding 2021 Notes and our other obligations will depend on our subsidiaries cash flow and their payment of funds to us. Our subsidiaries ability to make payments to us will depend on:
| their earnings; |
| covenants contained in our debt agreements (including the indenture governing our outstanding 2021 Notes) and the debt agreements of our subsidiaries; |
| covenants contained in other agreements to which we or our subsidiaries are or may become subject; |
| business and tax considerations; and |
| applicable law, including any restrictions under Korean law that may be imposed on MagnaChip Korea that would restrict its ability to make payments on intercompany loans from MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V. |
We cannot assure that the operating results of our subsidiaries at any given time will be sufficient to make distributions or other payments to us or that any distributions or payments will be adequate to pay principal and interest, and any other payments, on our outstanding 2021 Notes, other debt or any other obligations when due, and the failure to make such payments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Restrictions on MagnaChip Koreas ability to make payments on its intercompany loans from MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V., or on its ability to pay dividends in excess of statutory limitations, could hinder our ability to make payments on our outstanding 2021 Notes.
We anticipate that payments under our outstanding 2021 Notes will be funded in part by MagnaChip Koreas repayment of its existing loans from MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V., with MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V. using such repayments in turn to repay the loans owed to MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A., which will repay loans owed to us. Under the Korean Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, the minister of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance is authorized to temporarily suspend payments in foreign currencies in the event of natural calamities, wars, conflicts of arms, grave and sudden changes in domestic or foreign economic conditions, or other similar situations. In addition, under the Korean Commercial Code, a Korean company is permitted to make a dividend payment in accordance with the provisions in its articles of incorporation out of retained earnings (as determined in accordance with the Korean Commercial Code and the generally accepted accounting principles in Korea), but no more than twice a year. If MagnaChip Korea is prevented from making payments under its intercompany loans due to restrictions on payments of foreign currency or if it has an insufficient amount of retained earnings under the Korean Commercial Code to make dividend payments to MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V., we may not have sufficient funds to make payments on our outstanding 2021 Notes.
The indenture governing our outstanding 2021 Notes contains, and our future debt agreements will likely contain, covenants that significantly restrict our operations.
The indenture governing our outstanding 2021 Notes contains, and our future debt agreements will likely contain, numerous covenants imposing financial and operating restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business, may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise and may adversely affect the conduct of our current business, including by restricting our ability to finance future operations and capital needs and by limiting our ability to engage in other business activities. These covenants will place restrictions on our ability and the ability of our operating subsidiaries to, among other things:
| pay dividends, redeem shares or make other distributions with respect to equity interests, make payments with respect to subordinated indebtedness or other restricted payments; |
29
| incur debt or issue preferred stock; |
| create liens; |
| make certain investments; |
| consolidate, merge or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, taken as a whole; |
| sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of assets, including equity interests of our subsidiaries; |
| enter into sale-leaseback transactions; |
| enter into transactions with our affiliates; and |
| designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. |
In addition, our future debt agreements will likely contain financial ratios and other financial conditions tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests could be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure that we will meet those ratios and tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under such debt agreements. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under such debt agreements, our lenders under such agreements could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under such debt agreements to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.
The global downturn and related financial crisis negatively affected our business. Poor economic conditions may negatively affect our future business, results of operations and financial condition.
Since 2008, the global downturn and related financial crisis led to slower economic activity, increased unemployment, concerns about inflation and energy costs, decreased business and consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and lower levels of liquidity in many financial markets. Consumers and businesses deferred purchases in response to tighter credit and negative financial news, which has in turn negatively affected product demand and other related matters. The global downturn led to reduced customer spending in the semiconductor market and in our target markets, made it difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities and caused U.S. and foreign businesses to slow spending on our products. Although recently there have been indications of improved economic conditions generally and in the semiconductor industry specifically, we cannot assure the extent to which such conditions will continue to improve or whether the improvement will be sustainable. If the global economic recovery is not sustained or the global economy experiences another recession, such adverse economic conditions could lead to the insolvency of key suppliers resulting in product delays, limit the ability of customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products, lead to customer insolvencies and also result in counterparty failures that may negatively impact our treasury operations. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods as a result of economic downturns.
We have a history of losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
From the time we began operations as a separate entity in 2004 until we emerged from reorganization proceedings in 2009, we generated significant net losses and did not generate a profit for a full fiscal year. We may increase spending to support increased research and development and sales and marketing efforts. These expenditures may not result in increased revenue or an increase in the number of customers immediately or at all. Because many of our expenses are fixed in the short term, or are incurred in advance of anticipated sales, we may not be able to decrease our expenses in a timely manner to offset any shortfall of sales. If we cannot maintain profitability, the value of the enterprise may decline.
We emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings in 2009; because our consolidated financial statements after October 2009 reflect fresh-start accounting adjustments, our current consolidated financial statements will not be comparable in many respects to our financial information from periods prior to that time.
On June 12, 2009, we filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to obtain relief from our debt, which was $845 million as of December 31, 2008. Our plan of reorganization became effective on November 9, 2009. In connection with our emergence from the reorganization proceedings, we implemented fresh-start accounting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 852 (ASC 852) effective from October 25, 2009, which had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Thus, our consolidated financial statements after October 2009 will not be comparable in many respects to our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to our adoption of fresh-start accounting and prior to accounting for the effects of the reorganization proceedings.
Investor confidence may be adversely impacted if we fail to remediate identified material weaknesses and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures or are unable to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and as a result, the value of our securities could decline.
We are subject to rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires us to include in our Annual Report on Form 10-K our managements report on, and assessment of the effectiveness of, our internal control over financial reporting. We are also required to periodically assess and report on the adequacy of our disclosure controls and
30
procedures. As reported in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of this Report, we have concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2013.
If we fail to remediate identified material weaknesses and maintain the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, there is a risk that we will continue to have material weaknesses in the future. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. Any of these possible outcomes could result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements and could result in investigations or sanctions by the SEC, the NYSE or other regulatory authorities or in stockholder litigation. Any of these factors ultimately could harm our business and could negatively impact the market price of our securities. Ineffective control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Our goal is to ensure that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. See Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
We may need to incur impairment and other restructuring charges, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition.
During industry downturns and for other reasons, we may need to record impairment or restructuring charges. From November 9, 2009, the date we emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings, through December 31, 2013, we recognized aggregate restructuring and impairment charges of $14.3 million, which consisted of $10.9 million of impairment charges and $3.4 million of restructuring charges. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized $1.8 million of restructuring charges from restructuring one of our fabrication facilities and $0.6 million of impairment charges from certain existing technology. In addition, we recognized impairment charges related to impairment of goodwill, certain technology and tangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Dawin Electronics, which we refer to as the Dawin acquisition, by $3.4 million, $1.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In the future, we may need to record additional impairment charges or to further restructure our business or incur additional restructuring charges, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
We are subject to litigation risks, which may be costly to defend and the outcome of which is uncertain.
All industries, including the semiconductor industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit, that may be particularly costly and which may divert the attention of our management and our resources in general. We are involved in a variety of legal matters, most of which we consider routine matters that arise in the normal course of business. These routine matters typically fall into broad categories such as those involving customers, employment and labor and intellectual property. Even if the final outcome of these legal claims does not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, defense and settlement costs can be substantial. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal claim or proceeding could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The price of our common stock may be volatile and you may lose all or a part of your investment.
The trading price of our common stock might be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors, some of which are beyond our control, that could affect the trading price of our common stock may include:
| actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations from quarter to quarter or year to year, including variations related to the Restatement; |
| announcements by us or our competitors of significant agreements, technological innovations or strategic alliances; |
| changes in recommendations or estimates by any securities analysts who follow our securities; |
| addition or loss of significant customers; |
| recruitment or departure of key personnel; |
| changes in economic performance or market valuations of competing companies in our industry; |
31
| price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market; |
| market conditions in our industry, end markets and the economy as a whole; |
| subsequent sales of stock and other financings; and |
| litigation, legislation, regulation or technological developments that adversely affect our business. |
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public companys securities, securities class action litigation often has been instituted against the public company. Regardless of its outcome, this type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and a likely diversion of our managements attention. You may not receive a positive return on your investment when you sell your shares, and you could lose some or the entire amount of your investment.
Significant ownership of our common stock by certain stockholders could adversely affect our other stockholders.
Based upon the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014, our executive officers, directors and Avenue collectively beneficially owned approximately 12.7% of our common stock, excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, and 15.3% of our common stock, including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options that are exercisable within sixty days of December 31, 2014. In addition, affiliates of Avenue currently have two employees serving as members of our six-member board of directors. Therefore, Avenue will continue to have significant influence over our affairs for the foreseeable future, including influence over the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or our assets.
Our concentration of ownership may limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions that our public stockholders do not view as beneficial. For example, our concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their shares of our common stock.
Under our certificate of incorporation, our non-employee directors and non-employee holders of five percent or more of our outstanding common stock do not have a duty to refrain from engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar activities or lines of business as those engaged in by us, our subsidiaries and other related parties. Also, we have renounced any interest or expectancy in such business opportunities even if the opportunity is one that we might reasonably have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted an opportunity to do so.
Future sales of significant amounts of our common stock could negatively affect our stock price, even if our business is doing well.
As of December 31, 2014, Avenue beneficially owned 4,088,978 shares, or approximately 12.0%, of our outstanding common stock. On November 9, 2014, all warrants to purchase our common stock previously held by Avenue expired. All of our currently outstanding shares that were issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Avenues shares, are eligible for sale from time to time under Rule 144 or Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act subject only to the limitations on affiliate sales. Additionally, all remaining shares beneficially owned by Avenue are or will be registered for resale under a shelf registration statement and therefore be eligible for sale at any time or from time to time by Avenue. If any of our current stockholders, including Avenue, sells or is perceived by the market as intending to sell substantial amounts of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware Law may make it difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress the price of our common stock.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Among other things, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws:
| authorize our board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with such terms as the board of directors may determine; |
| divide our board of directors into three classes so that only approximately one-third of the total number of directors is elected each year; |
| permit directors to be removed only for cause by a majority vote of the stockholders; |
| prohibit action by written consent of our stockholders; |
| prohibit any person other than our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, our Chief Executive Officer or holders of at least 25% of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors to call a special meeting of our stockholders; and |
| specify advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations. |
32
In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), regulating corporate takeovers and which has an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for shares of our common stock. In general, those provisions prohibit a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
| the transaction is approved by the board of directors before the date the interested stockholder attained that status; |
| upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced; or |
| on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
In general, DGCL Section 203 defines a business combination to include the following:
| any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
| any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; |
| subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; |
| any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or |
| the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, DGCL Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any such entity or person.
A Delaware corporation may opt out of this provision by express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws approved by its stockholders. However, we have not opted out of, and do not currently intend to opt out of, this provision.
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and therefore, investors should rely on sales of their common stock as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.
We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends on common stock is restricted under the terms of the indenture for our outstanding 2021 Notes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Not applicable.
Our manufacturing operations consist of three fabrication facilities located in Korea at two sites in Cheongju and one in Gumi. Our facilities have a combined capacity of approximately 131,642 eight-inch equivalent wafers per month. We manufacture wafers utilizing geometries ranging from 0.11 to 2.0 microns. The Cheongju facilities have three main buildings totaling 164,058 square meters devoted to manufacturing and development. The Gumi facility has one main building with 41,022 square meters devoted to manufacturing, testing and packaging.
In addition to our fabrication facilities, we lease facilities in Seoul, Korea, and Cupertino, California. Each of these facilities includes administration, sales and marketing and research and development functions. We lease sales and marketing offices through our subsidiaries in several other countries.
The ownership of our wafer manufacturing assets is an important component of our business strategy. Maintaining manufacturing control enables us to develop proprietary, differentiated products and results in higher production yields, as well as shortened design and production cycles. We believe our facilities are suitable and adequate for the conduct of our business for the foreseeable future and that we have sufficient production capacity to service our business as currently contemplated without significant capital investment.
33
A substantial majority of our assembly, test and packaging services for our Display Solutions business and all of such services for our Power Solutions business are outsourced with the balance handled in-house. Our independent providers of these services are located in Korea, China, Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand. The relative cost of outsourced services, as compared to in-house services, depends upon many factors specific to each product and circumstance. However, we generally incur higher costs for outsourced services, which can result in lower margins.
Although we own our manufacturing facilities, we are party to a land lease and easement agreement with SK Hynix pursuant to which we lease the land for our facilities in Cheongju, Korea from SK Hynix for an indefinite term. Because we share certain facilities with SK Hynix, several services that are essential to our business are provided to us by or through SK Hynix under our general service supply agreement with SK Hynix. These services include electricity, bulk gases and de-ionized water, campus facilities and housing, wastewater and sewage management, environmental safety and certain utilities and infrastructure support services. The services agreement continues for an indefinite term subject to each party having a right to terminate in the event of an uncured breach by the other party.
Securities Class Action Complaint
On March 12, 2014, a purported class action was filed against the Company and certain of the Companys current and now-former officers on behalf of shareholders who purchased or acquired the Companys securities between February 1, 2012 and March 11, 2014. On September 30, 2014, an amended complaint was filed against the Company, certain current and now-former officers of the Company, certain members of the Companys Board of Directors, and a shareholder of the Company, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The action, Thomas et al., v. MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp., et al., No. 3:14-CV-1160, is pending in the Northern District of California. The Court has granted the plaintiffs thirty days from the date this Report is filed with the SEC to file and serve a further amended complaint. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of reasonably possible losses, with respect to the matters described above.
SEC Enforcement Staff Investigation
In addition, in March 2014, the Company voluntarily reported to the SEC that the Audit Committee had determined that the Company incorrectly recognized revenue on certain transactions and as a result would restate its financial statements, and that the Audit Committee had commenced the Independent Investigation. Over the course of 2014, the Company voluntarily produced documents to the SEC regarding the various accounting issues identified during the Independent Investigation, and whether the Companys hiring of an accountant from the Companys independent registered public accounting firm impacted that accounting firms independence. On July 22, 2014, the Staff of the SECs Division of Enforcement obtained a Formal Order of Investigation. The Company will continue to cooperate with the SEC in this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of reasonably possible losses, with respect to the matters described above.
Other Legal Proceedings
We are involved in a variety of legal matters, most of which we consider routine matters that arise in the normal course of business. These routine matters typically fall into broad categories such as those involving customers, employment and labor and intellectual property. Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims, in particular, could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. We are currently not involved in any ordinary-course legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Holders
The approximate number of record holders of our outstanding common stock as of January 31, 2015 was 82. This number does not include beneficial owners for whom shares are held by nominees in street name.
Dividends
We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. The payment of cash dividends on our common stock is restricted under the terms of the indenture governing our 2021 Notes.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On October 7, 2011, our Board adopted a stock repurchase program whereby we may, subject to prevailing market conditions and other factors, repurchase up to $35.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Our Board extended and increased the program by an additional $25.0 million in August 2012, for a maximum aggregate repurchase amount under the original program of up to $60.0 million. On July 30, 2013, we announced that the Board approved a new stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock. The new stock repurchase program was effective August 5, 2013 through December 15, 2014, and replaced the original stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program did not require that we purchase a minimum amount of shares of our common stock and may be commenced, suspended, resumed or terminated at any time without notice. The timing and extent of any repurchases were dependent upon prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Companys common stock and other factors, and subject to contractual restrictions and restrictions under applicable law and regulations. As of December 31, 2013, we had repurchased 6,578,765 shares of our common stock in the open market under these programs at an aggregate cost of $90.9 million. In March 2014, the Board suspended the stock repurchase program indefinitely pending the completion of the Independent Investigation, and the stock repurchase program expired by its terms on December 15, 2014. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The following tables set forth selected historical consolidated financial data of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation on or as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The selected historical consolidated financial data presented below should be read together with Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, including the notes to those consolidated financial statements, appearing elsewhere in this Report. As discussed in Note 2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements in such consolidated financial statements, our selected financial data set forth below as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been restated, and we have not amended any other previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the periods affected by this restatement. The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported for these periods is superseded by the information in this Report, and the financial statements and related financial information contained in previously filed reports, including the related opinions of our independent registered public accounting firm, press releases, communications and statements by management related thereto, should no longer be relied upon.
We have derived the selected consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 from the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Report. We have derived the selected consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 from the restated audited consolidated financial statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation included in this Report. We derived the selected consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2010, the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 (successor) and the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 (predecessor) from the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements not included in this report, which were prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements, and reflect adjustments to our previously filed consolidated financial statements. See Note 2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in this Report for information regarding our restatement of prior period financial data. The historical unaudited consolidated financial data for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 also gives retroactive effect to the corporate conversion. The historical financial data of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation for any period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future period.

(1) | As of October 25, 2009, the fresh-start adoption date, we adopted fresh-start accounting for our consolidated financial statements. Because of the emergence from reorganization proceedings and adoption of fresh-start accounting, the historical financial information for periods after October 25, 2009 is not fully comparable to periods before October 25, 2009. |
(2) | Total indebtedness is calculated as long and short-term borrowings, including the current portion of capital lease obligation. |
(3) | Long-term obligations include long-term borrowings and capital leases. |
(4) | We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expenses (benefits), (iv) restructuring and impairment charges, (v) equity-based compensation expense, (vi) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (vii) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, |

(6) | The cumulative impact of these errors identified by us totaled $0.8 million, net decrease of $0.1 million in retaining earnings for the two-month period ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $1.3 million for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009, offset by an increase of $0.6 million in retaining earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010. This was recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in 2011 as described in Note 2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. In addition, we identified an immaterial error that did not impact the Companys earnings but overstated prepaid expenses and additional paid in capital. We corrected these errors in the selected financial data. |

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, together in each case with the related notes, included elsewhere in this Report. This discussion and analysis contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the heading Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Report. See Part I Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements elsewhere in this Report.
Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
As discussed below and in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements, we have restated our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported for these periods is superseded by the information in this Report, and the financial statements and related financial information contained in previously filed reports, including the related opinions of our independent registered public accounting firm, press releases, communications and statements by management related thereto, should no longer be relied upon. Accordingly, the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth below reflects the effects of the restatement.
As part of the audit of the financial statements for inclusion in our 2013 Form 10-K, it was determined that revenue on certain transactions was incorrectly recognized in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. We filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on March 11, 2014 disclosing our Audit Committees conclusion that certain of our previously issued annual audited and interim unaudited financial statements contained in our historical Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. The impact of the restatement on our consolidated financial statements is detailed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report. As a result of the errors identified during the restatement, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013. These weaknesses, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our remediation plans related thereto are more fully described in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in Part II of this Report.
Overview
We are a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products for high-volume consumer, computer and communication applications. We believe we have one of the broadest and deepest analog and mixed-signal semiconductor technology platforms in the industry, supported by our 30-year operating history, large portfolio of approximately 3,167 registered novel patents and 134 pending novel patent applications and extensive engineering and manufacturing process expertise. Our business is comprised of three key business lines: Display Solutions, Power Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Our Display Solutions products include display drivers that cover a wide range of flat panel displays and multimedia devices. Our Power Solutions products include discrete and integrated circuit solutions for power management in high-volume consumer, computer, communication and industrial applications. Our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services provide specialty analog and mixed-signal foundry services for fabless semiconductor companies that serve the consumer, computing and wireless end markets.
Our wide variety of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and manufacturing services combined with our deep technology platform allow us to address multiple high-growth end markets and to rapidly develop and introduce new products and services in response to market demands. Our design center and substantial manufacturing operations in Korea place us at the core of the global consumer electronics supply chain. We believe this enables us to quickly and efficiently respond to our customers needs and allows us to better serve and capture additional demand from existing and new customers.
To maintain and increase our profitability, we must accurately forecast trends in demand for consumer electronics products that incorporate semiconductor products we produce. We must understand our customers needs as well as the likely end market trends and demand in the markets they serve. We must balance the likely manufacturing utilization demand of our product businesses and foundry business to optimize our capacity utilization. We must also invest in relevant research and development activities and manufacturing capacity and purchase necessary materials on a timely basis to meet our customers demand while maintaining our target margins and cash flow.
The semiconductor markets in which we participate are highly competitive. The prices of our products tend to decrease regularly over their useful lives, and such price decreases can be significant as new generations of products are introduced by us or our competitors. We strive to offset the impact of declining selling prices for existing products through cost reductions and the introduction of 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 mitigate the risk of losses from product obsolescence.
Demand for our products and services is driven primarily by overall demand for consumer electronics products and can be adversely affected by periods of weak consumer spending or by market share losses by our customers. To mitigate the impact of market volatility on our business, we seek to address markets and geographies with higher growth rates than the overall consumer electronics industry. We also expect that new competitors will emerge in these markets that may place increased pressure on the
45
pricing for our products and services. While we believe we are well-positioned competitively to compete in these markets and against these new competitors as a result of our long operating history, existing manufacturing capacity and our Korea-based operations, if we are not effective in competing in these markets our operating results may be adversely affected.
Within our Display Solutions and Power Solutions lines, net sales are driven by design wins in which we are selected by an electronics OEM or other potential customer to supply its demand for a particular product. A customer will often have more than one supplier designed in to multi-source components for a particular product line. Once designed in, we often specify the pricing of a particular product for a set period of time, with periodic discussions and renegotiations of pricing with our customers. In any given period, our net sales depend heavily upon the end-market demand for the goods in which our products are used, the inventory levels maintained by our customers and in some cases, allocation of demand for components for a particular product among selected qualified suppliers.
Within the Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business, net sales are driven by customers decisions on which manufacturing services provider to use for a particular product. Most of our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers are fabless and depend upon service providers like us to manufacture their products. A customer will often have more than one supplier of manufacturing services; however, they tend to allocate a majority of manufacturing volume to one of their suppliers. We strive to be the primary supplier of manufacturing services to our customers. Once selected as a primary supplier, we often specify the pricing of a particular service on a per wafer basis for a set period of time, with periodic discussions and renegotiations of pricing with our customers. In any given period, our net sales depend heavily upon the end-market demand for the goods in which the products we manufacture for customers are used, the inventory levels maintained by our customers and, in some cases, allocation of demand for manufacturing services among selected qualified suppliers.
In contrast to fabless semiconductor companies, our internal manufacturing capacity provides us with greater control over manufacturing costs and the ability to implement process and production improvements which can favorably impact gross profit margins. Our internal manufacturing capacity also allows for better control over delivery schedules, improved consistency over product quality and reliability and improved ability to protect intellectual property from misappropriation. However, having internal manufacturing capacity exposes us to the risk of under-utilization of manufacturing capacity that results in lower gross profit margins, particularly during downturns in the semiconductor industry.
Our products and services require investments in capital equipment. Analog and mixed-signal manufacturing facilities and processes are typically distinguished by the design and process implementation expertise rather than the use of the most advanced equipment. These processes also tend to migrate more slowly to smaller geometries due to technological barriers and increased costs. For example, some of our products use high-voltage technology that requires larger geometries and that may not migrate to smaller geometries for several years, if at all. Additionally, the performance of many of our products is not necessarily dependent on geometry. As a result, our manufacturing base and strategy do not require substantial investment in leading edge process equipment, allowing us to utilize our facilities and equipment over an extended period of time with moderate required capital investments. Generally, incremental capacity expansions in our business line of the market result in more moderate industry capacity expansion as compared to leading edge processes. As a result, this market, and we, specifically, are less likely to experience significant industry overcapacity, which can cause product prices to decline significantly. In general, we seek to invest in manufacturing capacity that can be used for multiple high-value applications over an extended period of time. We believe this capital investment strategy enables us to optimize our capital investments and facilitates deeper and more diversified product and service offerings.
Our success going forward will depend upon our ability to adapt to future challenges such as the emergence of new competitors for our products and services or the consolidation of current competitors. Additionally, we must innovate to remain ahead of, or at least rapidly adapt to, technological breakthroughs that may lead to a significant change in the technology necessary to deliver our products and services. We believe that our established relationships and close collaboration with leading customers enhance our visibility into new product opportunities, market and technology trends and improve our ability to meet these challenges successfully. In our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business, we strive to maintain competitiveness and our position as a primary manufacturing services provider to our customers by offering high-value added processes, high-flexibility and excellent service.
Other Significant Events
In March 2011, we completed the MagnaChip IPO of 9,500,000 shares of common stock, which we listed on the NYSE. All shares were sold in the form of depositary shares and each depositary share represented an ownership interest in one share of common stock. Of the 9,500,000 shares, 950,000 shares were newly issued by us and 8,550,000 shares were sold by selling stockholders. All outstanding depositary shares were automatically cancelled on April 24, 2011 and the underlying shares of common stock were issued to the holders of such cancelled depositary shares. We received $12.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of the new shares of common stock after deducting underwriters discounts and commissions, and we did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders. We incurred $10.8 million of MagnaChip IPO expenses that were recorded as decrease of additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets.
Prior to the MagnaChip IPO, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was converted to MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation. In connection with the corporate conversion, outstanding common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor
46
LLC were automatically converted into shares of common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, outstanding options to purchase common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into options to purchase shares of common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation and outstanding warrants to purchase common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, all at a ratio of one share of common stock for eight common units.
On May 16, 2011, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, repurchased $35.0 million out of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes then outstanding at a price of 109.0% from Avenue. In connection with the May 2011 repurchase of the senior notes, the Company recognized $4.1 million of loss on early extinguishment of senior notes, which consisted of $3.2 million from repurchase premium, $0.4 million from write-off of discounts, $0.2 million from write-off of debt issuance costs and $0.3 million from incurrence of direct legal and advisory service fees.
On September 19, 2011, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, repurchased $11.3 million out of $215 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes then outstanding at a price of 107.5%. In connection with the September 2011 repurchase of the senior notes, we recognized $1.4 million of loss on early extinguishment of senior notes, which consisted of $0.9 million from repurchase premium, $0.1 million from write-off of discounts, $0.4 million from write-off of debt issuance costs.
On October 7, 2011, our Board adopted a stock repurchase program whereby we may, subject to prevailing market conditions and other factors, repurchase up to $35.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Our Board extended and increased the program by an additional $25.0 million in August 2012, for a maximum aggregate repurchase amount under the original program of up to $60.0 million. On July 30, 2013, we announced that the Board approved a new stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock. The new stock repurchase program was effective August 5, 2013 through December 15, 2014, and replaced the original stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program did not require that we purchase a minimum amount of shares of our common stock and may be commenced, suspended, resumed or terminated at any time without notice. The timing and extent of any repurchases were dependent upon prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Companys common stock and other factors, and subject to contractual restrictions and restrictions under applicable law and regulations. As of December 31, 2013, we had repurchased 6,578,765 shares of our common stock in the open market under these programs at an aggregate cost of $90.9 million. In March 2014, the Board suspended the stock repurchase program indefinitely pending the completion of the Independent Investigation, and the stock repurchase program expired by its terms on December 15, 2014. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program.
On May 1, 2012, we closed an underwritten registered public offering of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock owned by certain of our stockholders at a price per share of $11.40. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders but paid certain expenses in connection with such secondary offering.
On February 8, 2013, we closed an underwritten registered public offering of 5,750,000 shares of our common stock owned by certain of our stockholders at a price per share of $14.50. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders but paid certain expenses in connection with such secondary offering.
On July 18, 2013, we issued the 2021 Notes, at a price of 99.5%. Interest on the 2021 Notes accrues at a rate of 6.625% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2014. We used net proceeds of the 2021 Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay all of our then outstanding 10.5% senior notes due April 15, 2018 (the 2018 Notes), including applicable premium and accrued interest, and to pay related fees and expenses of the 2021 Notes offering.
On September 13, 2013, we closed an underwritten registered public offering of 1,700,000 shares of our common stock owned by certain of our stockholders at a price per share of $21.20. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders but paid certain expenses in connection with such secondary offering.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-US GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income
We use the terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income throughout this Report. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is a non-US GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expenses (benefits), (iv) restructuring and impairment charges, (v) equity-based compensation expense, (vi) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (vii) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (viii) secondary offering and others, (ix) one-time incentive payments in connection with the MagnaChip IPO and (x) loss on early extinguishment of senior notes.
See the footnotes to the table below for further information regarding these items. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because:
| Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of a number of items that may be either one time or recurring items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core ongoing operating performance; |
| we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors in our industry; |
| our investor and analyst presentations will include Adjusted EBITDA; and |
| we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a more consistent measurement of period to period performance of our core operations, as well as a comparison of our operating performance to that of other companies in our industry. |
We use Adjusted EBITDA in a number of ways, including:
| for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; |
| to evaluate the effectiveness of our enterprise level business strategies; |
| in communications with our Board concerning our consolidated financial performance; and |
| in certain of our compensation plans as a performance measure for determining incentive compensation payments. |
48
We encourage you to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined in accordance with US GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or net income (loss), as determined in accordance with US GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

(a) | This adjustment is comprised of all items included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on our consolidated statements of operations, and eliminates the impact of restructuring and impairment charges related to (i) for 2013, restructuring charges of $1.8 million related to the restructuring of our six inch fabrication facilities, and the impact of impairment charges of $3.4 million related to the impairment of goodwill, $1.9 million related to the impairment of certain technology and $0.5 million of machinery and equipment purchased in connection with the Dawin acquisition, and the impact of impairment charges of $0.6 million related to the impairment of certain existing technology, (ii) for 2011, restructuring charges of $1.1 million related to the closure of our research and development center in Japan and sales subsidiary in the United Kingdom and impairment charges related to $2.0 million from twelve abandoned in-process research and development projects and one dropped existing technology, $0.4 million from one abandoned system project and $0.1 million from impairment of tangible and intangible assets. |
(b) | This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expenses. Although we expect to incur non-cash equity-based compensation expenses in the future, we believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the effects of these non-cash expenses, as supplemental information. |
(c) | This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash foreign currency translation associated with intercompany debt obligations and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as the cash impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses on collection of such receivables and payment of such payables. Although we expect to incur foreign currency translation gains or losses in the future, we believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the effects of these primarily non-cash gains or losses, as supplemental information. |
(d) | This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents hedge ineffectiveness or derivatives value changes excluded from the risk being hedged. We enter into derivative transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As our derivative transactions are limited to a certain portion of our expected cash flows denominated in U.S. dollars, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes, we do not believe that these charges or gains are indicative of our core operating performance. |
(e) | This adjustment eliminates expenses incurred for our secondary offerings in September 2013, February 2013 and May 2012 and for tax and dues related to value added tax return revisions in 2012. |
(f) | This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact of incentive payments to all employees excluding management in connection with the MagnaChip IPO. |
(g) | This adjustment eliminates the impact of loss on (i) for 2011, repurchase of $46.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and (ii) for 2013, repayment of $203.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes. |
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
49
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; |
| although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing equity-based compensation to our management team and employees; |
| Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the costs of holding certain assets and liabilities in foreign currencies; and |
| other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our US GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
We present Adjusted Net Income as a further supplemental measure of our performance. We prepare Adjusted Net Income by adjusting net income (loss) 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 present Adjusted Net Income for a number of reasons, including:
| we use Adjusted Net Income in communications with our Board concerning our consolidated financial performance; |
| we believe that Adjusted Net Income is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors in our industry; and |
| our investor and analyst presentations will include Adjusted Net Income. |
Adjusted Net Income is not a measure defined in accordance with US GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or net income (loss), as determined in accordance with US GAAP. We encourage you to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted Net Income, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. We define Adjusted Net Income for the periods indicated as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) restructuring and impairment charges, (ii) equity-based compensation expense, (iii) amortization of intangibles, (iv) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (v) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (vi) secondary offering and others, (vii) one-time incentive payments in connection with the MagnaChip IPO and (viii) loss on early extinguishment of senior notes.
The following table summarizes the adjustments to net income (loss) that we make in order to calculate Adjusted Net Income for the periods indicated:

(a) | This adjustment is comprised of all items included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on our consolidated statements of operations, and eliminates the impact of restructuring and impairment charges related to (i) for 2013, restructuring charges of $1.8 million related to the restructuring of our six inch fabrication facilities, and the impact of impairment charges of $3.4 million related to the impairment of goodwill, $1.9 million related to the impairment of certain technology and $0.5 million of machinery and equipment purchased in connection with the Dawin acquisition, and the impact of impairment charges of $0.6 million related to the impairment of certain existing technology, (ii) for 2011, |
50
restructuring charges of $1.1 million related to the closure of our research and development center in Japan and sales subsidiary in the United Kingdom and impairment charges related to $2.0 million from twelve abandoned in-process research and development projects and one dropped existing technology, $0.4 million from one abandoned system project and $0.1 million from impairment of tangible and intangible assets. |
(b) | This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expenses. Although we expect to incur non-cash equity-based compensation expenses in the future, we believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the effects of these non-cash expenses, as supplemental information. |
(c) | This adjustment eliminates the non-cash impact of amortization expense for intangible assets created as a result of the purchase accounting treatment of the Original Acquisition and other subsequent acquisitions, and from the application of fresh-start accounting in connection with the reorganization proceedings. We do not believe these non-cash amortization expenses for intangibles are indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because the assets would not have been capitalized on our balance sheet but for the application of purchase accounting or fresh-start accounting, as applicable. |
(d) | This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash foreign currency translation associated with intercompany debt obligations and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as the cash impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses on collection of such receivables and payment of such payables. Although we expect to incur foreign currency translation gains or losses in the future, we believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the effects of these primarily non-cash gains or losses, as supplemental information. |
(e) | This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents hedge ineffectiveness or derivatives value changes excluded from the risk being hedged. We enter into derivative transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As our derivative transactions are limited to a certain portion of our expected cash flows denominated in U.S. dollars, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes, we do not believe that these charges or gains are indicative of our core operating performance. |
(f) | This adjustment eliminates expenses incurred for our secondary offerings in September 2013, February 2013 and May 2012 and for tax and dues related to value added tax return revisions in 2012. |
(g) | This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact of incentive payments to all employees excluding management in connection with the MagnaChip IPO. |
(h) | This adjustment eliminates the impact of loss on (i) for 2011, repurchase of $46.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and (ii) for 2013, repayment of $203.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes. |
Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| Adjusted Net Income does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| Adjusted Net Income does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| Adjusted Net Income does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing equity-based compensation to our management team and employees; |
| Adjusted Net Income does not reflect the costs of holding certain assets and liabilities in foreign currencies; and |
| other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our US GAAP results and using Adjusted Net Income only supplementally.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not measures defined in accordance with US GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income (loss), as determined in accordance with US GAAP.
Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $20.0 million and $31.5 million, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $124.3 million and $64.5 million, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $108.3 million and $32.2 million, respectively.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Net Sales. We derive virtually all of our sales (net of sales returns and allowances) from three business lines: Display Solutions, Power Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Our product inventory is primarily located in Korea and is available for drop shipment globally. Outside of Korea, we maintain limited product inventory, and our sales representatives generally relay orders to our factories in Korea for fulfillment. We have strategically located our sales and technical support offices near concentrations of major customers. Our sales offices are located in Korea, the United States, Japan and Greater China. Our network of authorized agents and distributors consists of agents in the United States and Europe and distributors and agents in the Asia Pacific region. Our net sales from All other consist principally of the disposal of waste materials.
We recognize revenue when risk and reward of ownership pass to the customer either upon shipment, upon product delivery at the customers location or upon customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the arrangement. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we sold products to over 284 and 290 customers, respectively, and our net sales to our ten largest customers represented 59% and 61% of our net sales, respectively. We have a combined production capacity of over 131,642 eight-inch equivalent semiconductor wafers per month. We believe our large-scale, cost-effective fabrication facilities enable us to rapidly adjust our production levels to meet shifts in demand by our end customers.
Gross Profit. Our overall gross profit generally fluctuates as a result of changes in overall sales volumes and in the average selling prices of our products and services. Other factors that influence our gross profit include changes in product mix, the introduction of new products and services and subsequent generations of existing products and services, shifts in the utilization of our manufacturing facilities and the yields achieved by our manufacturing operations, changes in material, labor and other manufacturing costs including outsourced manufacturing expenses, and variation in depreciation expense.
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.
Material Costs. Our cost of sales consists of costs of raw materials, such as silicon wafers, chemicals, gases and tape, packaging supplies, equipment maintenance and depreciation expenses. We use processes that require specialized raw materials, such as silicon wafers, that are generally available from a limited number of suppliers. If demand increases or supplies decrease, the costs of our raw materials could significantly increase.
Labor Costs. A significant portion of our employees are located in Korea. Under Korean labor laws, most employees and certain 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 December 31, 2013, approximately 98% of our employees were eligible for severance benefits.
Depreciation Expense. We periodically evaluate the carrying values of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, as well as the related depreciation periods. We depreciated our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our assets. Depreciation rates vary from 30-40 years on buildings to 5 to 12 years for certain equipment and assets. Our evaluation of carrying values is based on various analyses including cash flow and profitability projections. If our projections indicate that future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying values of the related long-lived assets, the carrying value of the assets is impaired and will be reduced, with the reduction charged to expense so that the carrying value is equal to fair value.
Prior to July 1, 2011, we depreciated machinery and measurement equipment using the straight-line method over 5 to 10 years. However, based on an evaluation of the appropriateness of depreciable lives including a review of historical usage and an expansion of our Power Solutions business, we determined that machinery and measurement equipment have a longer life than previously estimated. As a result, we changed the estimate of depreciable lives for machinery and measurement equipment to 10 to 12 years. The purpose of this change was to more accurately reflect the productive life of these assets. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 250-10-45, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections(ASC 250-10-45), the change in life has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate on a prospective basis from July 1, 2011. As a result of the change in the estimated life of machinery and measurement equipment, cost of sales was $4.8 million lower, net income was $5.2 million higher and net income per diluted share was $0.13 higher for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Selling Expenses. We sell our products worldwide through a direct sales force as well as a network of sales agents and representatives to OEMs, including major branded customers and contract manufacturers, and indirectly through distributors. Selling expenses consist primarily of the personnel costs for the members of our direct sales force, a network of sales representatives and other costs of distribution. Personnel costs include base salary, benefits and incentive compensation.
52
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of the costs of various corporate operations, including finance, legal, human resources and other administrative functions. These expenses primarily consist of payroll-related expenses, consulting and other professional fees and office facility-related expenses.
Research and Development. The rapid technological change and product obsolescence that characterize our industry require us to make continuous investments in research and development. Product development time frames vary but, in general, we incur research and development costs one to two years before generating sales from the associated new products. These expenses include personnel costs for members of our engineering workforce, cost of photomasks, silicon wafers and other non-recurring engineering charges related to product design. Additionally, we develop base line process technology through experimentation and through the design and use of characterization wafers that help achieve commercially feasible yields for new products. The majority of research and development expenses are for process development that serves as a common technology platform for all of our product lines. Consequently, we do not allocate these expenses to individual lines.
Restructuring and Impairment Charges. We evaluate the recoverability of certain long-lived assets and in-process research and development assets on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In our efforts to improve our overall profitability in future periods, we have closed or otherwise impaired, and may in the future close or impair, facilities that are underutilized and that are no longer aligned with our long-term business goals.
Interest Expense, Net. Our interest expense was incurred primarily under the 2018 Notes and the 2021 Notes.
Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates on Reported Results of Operations. Historically, a portion of our revenues and greater than the majority of our operating expenses and costs of sales have been denominated in non-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 our non-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 (loss) 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. 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.
From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. Our Korean subsidiary enters into foreign currency option, forward and zero cost collar contracts in order to mitigate a portion of the impact of U.S. dollar-Korean won exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. Obligations under these foreign currency option, forward and zero cost collar contracts must be cash collateralized if our exposure exceeds certain specified thresholds. These option, forward and zero cost collar contracts may be terminated by the counterparty in a number of circumstances, including if our long-term debt rating falls below B-/B3 or if our total cash and cash equivalents is less than $30.0 million at the end of a fiscal quarter. We cannot assure that any hedging technique we implement will be effective. If our hedging activities are not effective, changes in currency exchange rates may have a more significant impact on our results of operations.
Foreign Currency Gain or Loss. Foreign currency translation gains or losses on transactions by us or our subsidiaries in a currency other than our or our subsidiaries functional currency are included in our statements of operations as a component of other income (expense). A substantial portion of this net foreign currency gain or loss relates to non-cash translation gain or loss related to the principal balance of intercompany balances at our Korean subsidiary that are denominated in U.S. dollars. This gain or loss results from fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Korean won and U.S. dollar.
Income Taxes. We record our income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves using an asset and liability approach whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences in the financial reporting bases and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We exercise significant management judgment in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities. We assess whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets existing at the period-end will be realized in future periods. In such assessment, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would adjust the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
Our operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United States and in multiple foreign jurisdictions, including Korea. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations. The ultimate amount of tax liability may be uncertain as a result.
Capital Expenditures. We invest in manufacturing equipment, software design tools and other tangible and intangible assets for capacity expansion and technology improvement. Capacity expansions and technology improvements typically occur in anticipation of increases in demand. We typically pay for capital expenditures in partial installments with portions due on order, delivery and final acceptance. Our capital expenditures include our payments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment as well as payments for the registration of intellectual property rights.
53
Inventories. We monitor our inventory levels in light of product development changes and market expectations. We may be required to take additional charges for quantities in excess of demand, cost in excess of market value and product age. Our analysis may take into consideration historical usage, expected demand, anticipated sales price, new product development schedules, the effect new products might have on the sales of existing products, product age, customer design activity, customer concentration and other factors. These forecasts require us to estimate our ability to predict demand for current and future products and compare those estimates with our current inventory levels and inventory purchase commitments. Our forecasts for our inventory may differ from actual inventory use.

Net sales were $734.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a $73.2 million, or 9.1%, decrease compared to $807.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net sales declined in 2013 compared to fiscal year 2012 primarily as a result of significant decrease in revenue related to our Display Solutions line, which was offset by an increase in revenue related to our Power Solutions line as described below.
Display Solutions. Net sales from our Display Solutions line were $203.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a $83.0 million, or 29.0%, decrease compared to $285.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decline in sales volume of our products, mainly related to large displays, contributed to a 44% decline in revenue, partially offset by positive contribution of 14% from the increase in average selling prices. The increase in sales of mobile display chips positively affected both sales volume and average selling prices.
Power Solutions. Net sales from our Power Solutions line were $135.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a $10.4 million, or 8.3%, increase compared to $125.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in average selling prices contributed to a 6% increase in revenue, and the increase in sales volume of our products contributed to a 1% increase in revenue. The increase in sales of premium products such as Super Junction MOSFETs positively affected average selling prices, offset by slightly reduced volume for power modules.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Net sales from our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services line were $395.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a $0.5 million, or 0.1%, decrease compared to $395.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in average selling prices contributed to a 1% decrease in revenue. The weak performance of our six-inch fabrication facilities negatively affected both average selling prices and sales volume.
56
All Other. All other net sales were $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Net Sales by Geographic Region
We report net sales by geographic region based on the location of customers. Revenue from a foreign subsidiary of a multi-national corporation is classified based on the location of the subsidiary.

Net sales in Korea for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased from $365.7 million to $313.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, or by $52.0 million, or 14.2%, primarily due to decreased demand in the market for Display Solutions products. Net sales in the U.S. for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased from $124.5 million to $100.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, or by $23.7 million, or 19.0%, primarily due to decreased demand in the market for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services products serving the smartphone industry.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit was $155.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $243.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a $88.2 million, or 36.3%, decrease. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased to 21.1% compared to 30.1% for the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease in gross profit and gross margin was primarily attributable to an increase in the impact from inventory reserve and write off of $33.4 million, non-recurring expenses of $12.8 million related to settlement of certain commercial disputes and expense accrual of $9.0 million related to the revised definition of ordinary wages based on the Korean Supreme Courts ruling in December 2013. The increase in inventory reserves was a result of the failure of anticipated orders from customers materializing, which led to significantly higher excess and obsolete reserves. The inventory items related to these higher reserves are mainly comprised of highly customized products.
Additional factors that reduced gross profit and gross margin in 2013 compared to 2012 include a modest decline in the utilization rate, an increase in labor cost as a result of an increase in the average salary, and an increase in the electricity tariffs by Korea Electric Power Corporation. Gross profit and gross margin in 2013 were positively impacted by an increase in average selling prices described above.
Operating Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $85.8 million, or 11.7% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $82.7 million, or 10.2% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase of $3.1 million, or 3.7%, was primarily attributable to an increase in legal and other outside service fees, offset by a reduction in secondary offering related and other expenses from $3.3 million in 2012 to $1.4 million in 2013. The secondary offering related and other expenses of $3.3 million in 2012 include a $2.1 million one-time payment of custom duties and penalties related to the decision by Korea Customs Service on certain products manufactured by semiconductor companies operating in Korea that was not incurred in 2013. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased because most expenses in U.S. dollars either remained flat or increased slightly, while revenue declined.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $87.9 million, or 12.0% of net sales, an increase of $11.6 million, or 15.2%, from $76.3 million, or 9.4% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to an increase in use of our manufacturing facilities for R&D activities, increase in R&D headcount and increase in average salary in U.S. dollars.
Restructuring and Impairment Charges. Restructuring and impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $8.2 million compared to nil for the year ended December 31, 2012. Restructuring charges of $1.8 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013 were related to the restructuring of our six-inch fabrication facilities. Impairment charges of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily resulted from $3.4 million of impairment to goodwill, $1.9 million of impairments of certain technology and $0.5 million impairments of machinery and equipment, all acquired from the Dawin acquisition, and $0.6 million of impairments of certain existing technology.
57
Operating Income
As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased by $111.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. As discussed above, the decrease in operating income primarily resulted from $88.2 million decrease in gross profit, $11.6 million increase in R&D and $8.2 million increase in restructuring and impairment charges.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.2 million compared to $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease of $2.2 million was primarily due to the repayment of the 2018 Notes and the issuance of the 2021 Notes.
Foreign Currency Gain, Net. Net foreign currency gain for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $16.8 million, compared to $57.3 million for the year December 31, 2012. A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain or loss is non-cash translation gain or loss associated with intercompany balances at our Korean subsidiary and is affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency translation gain from intercompany balances was included in determining our consolidated net income since the intercompany balances were not considered long-term investments in nature because management intended to settle these intercompany balances at their respective maturity dates.
Loss on early extinguishment of senior notes. In August 2013, we repaid $203.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes. In relation with this repayment, we recognized $32.8 million of loss on early extinguishment of senior notes.
Others. Others were comprised of gains and losses on valuation of derivatives which were designated as hedging instruments. Net gain on valuation of derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2013 represents either hedge ineffectiveness or components of changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the assessments of hedge effectiveness.
Income Tax Expenses
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions and our effective tax rate is affected by changes in the mix of earnings between countries with differing tax rates. Our primary foreign operations are in Korea where the statutory tax rate applicable to us was approximately 24.2% in 2013 and 2012. Statutory tax rates for all foreign subsidiaries other than our Japanese subsidiary were less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%.
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded income tax expense of $4.0 million and $12.8 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was (6.6)% for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to 10.5% for the year ended December 31, 2012. A significant factor impacting our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was intercompany interest related withholding taxes of $3.9 million and $4.2 million respectively. Such withholding taxes could be offset by application of foreign tax credits, but due to the uncertainty of utilization, a full valuation allowance was recognized.
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 was impacted by the utilization of loss carryforwards. In the year ended December 31, 2013, losses were recognized for which no tax benefit could be recognized. In addition, there was a $7.6 million effect of a deemed dividend under section 956 of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC), in the year ended December 31, 2012.
Net Income
As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $174.2 million, or 158.3%, in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. As discussed above, the decrease in net income was primarily due to a $40.4 million decrease in foreign currency gain, a $32.8 million loss on early extinguishment of senior notes and a $111.1 million decrease in operating income, partially offset by a $8.9 million decrease in income tax expenses and a $2.2 million decrease in interest expense.

Net sales were $807.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a $64.2 million, or 8.6%, increase compared to $743.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net sales increased in 2012 compared to fiscal year 2011 primarily as a result of an increase in revenue related to our Power Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services lines, offset by a decrease in revenue related to our Display Solutions line as described below.
Display Solutions. Net sales from our Display Solutions line were $285.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a $37.7 million, or 11.6%, decrease compared to $323.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in sales volume led to a 8% decline in revenue, and a decline in average selling price led to a 2% decline in revenue. A decrease in sales of mobile display chips negatively affected both sales volume and average selling prices.
Power Solutions. Net sales from our Power Solutions line were $125.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a $37.0 million, or 42.1%, increase compared to $87.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in sales volume contributed to a 25% increase in revenue and an increase in average selling prices contributed to a 19% increase in revenue. An increase in the sale of premium products positively affected average selling prices.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Net sales from our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services line were $395.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a $65.1 million, or 19.7%, increase compared to $330.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in sales volume of eight-inch equivalent wafers contributed to a 13% increase in revenue and an increase in average selling prices contributed to a 10% increase in revenue.
59
All Other. All other net sales were $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Net Sales by Geographic Region

Net sales in the U.S. for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased from $75.4 million to $124.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, or by $49.1 million, or 65.1%, primarily due to increased demand in the market for our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services products. Net sales in Europe for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased from $14.0 million to $39.3 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, or by $25.3 million, or 180.3%, primarily due to increased demand in the market for our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services products.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit was $243.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $199.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a $43.7 million, or 21.9%, increase. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased to 30.1% compared to 26.9% for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to an increase in average selling prices and utilization rate and a decrease in depreciation expense, which were partially offset by a $6.0 million increase in inventory reserves, non-recurring expenses related to the settlement of certain commercial disputes of $1.6 million compared to $2.1 million of such expenses in 2011, and other increases in costs due to an increase in manufacturing headcount, average salary, facility repair and maintenance expenses, and outsourced manufacturing expenses.
Operating Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $82.7 million, or 10.2% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $70.2 million, or 9.4% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase of $12.5 million, or 17.7%, was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and related expenses resulting from an annual salary increase, an increase in headcount, a $2.1 million increase from a one-time payment of custom duties and penalties recorded in 2012, related to the decision by the Korea Customs Service on certain products manufactured by certain semiconductor companies operating in Korea, and an increase in outside service fees in 2012 compared to 2011 related to secondary offering expenses.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $76.3 million, or 9.4% of net sales, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.4%, from $76.6 million, or 10.3% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a small decrease in the use of our manufacturing facilities for R&D activities, partially offset by an increase in salaries and related expenses resulting from an annual salary increase.
Restructuring and Impairment Charges. We had no restructuring and impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Restructuring charges of $1.1 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011 were related to the closure of our research and development center in Japan and our sales subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Impairment charges of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 consisted of $2.0 million from twelve abandoned in-process research and development projects and one dropped existing technology, $0.4 million from one abandoned system project and $0.1 million from impairment of tangible and intangible assets.
60
Special expense for the MagnaChip IPO Incentive. We paid $12.1 million in special cash incentive payments to all employees, excluding management, which were contingent upon the consummation of the MagnaChip IPO in March 2011, and had no corresponding expense in 2012.
Operating Income
As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $47.3 million, or 128.0%, in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. As discussed above, the increase in operating income primarily resulted from a $43.7 million increase in gross profit, the payment of a $12.1 million special cash incentive to all employees, excluding management, in connection with the MagnaChip IPO in 2011, a $3.6 million decrease in restructuring and impairment charges and a $0.3 million decrease in research and development expenses, which were partially offset by a $12.5 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.4 million compared to $25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was incurred primarily under our 2018 Notes originally issued on April 9, 2010. This decrease from 2011 to 2012 was attributable to the repurchase of $35.0 million and $11.3 million out of an initial aggregate amount of $250.0 million of our 2018 Notes on May 16, 2011 and on September 19, 2011, respectively.
Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), Net. Net foreign currency gain for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $57.3 million, compared to net foreign currency loss of $11.3 million for the year December 31, 2011. A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain or loss is non-cash translation gain or loss associated with intercompany balances at our Korean subsidiary and is affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency translation gain from intercompany balances was included in determining our consolidated net income since the intercompany balances were not considered long-term investments in nature because management intended to settle these intercompany balances at their respective maturity dates.
Loss on early extinguishment of senior notes. We repurchased $35.0 million and $11.3 million out of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2018 Notes originally outstanding on May 16 and September 19, 2011, respectively. We recognized $5.5 million of loss on the early extinguishment of our 2018 Notes, which consisted of $4.0 million from a repurchase premium, $0.6 million from the write-off of discounts, $0.6 million from write-off of debt issuance costs and $0.3 million from the incurrence of direct legal and advisory service fees.
Others. Others were comprised of gains and losses on valuation of derivatives which were designated as hedging instruments. Net gain on valuation of derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2012 represents either hedge ineffectiveness or components of changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the assessments of hedge effectiveness.
Income Tax Expenses
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions and our effective tax rate is affected by changes in the mix of earnings between countries with differing tax rates. Our primary foreign operations are in Korea where the statutory tax rate applicable to us was approximately 24.2% in 2012 and 2011. Statutory tax rates for all foreign subsidiaries other than our Japanese subsidiary were less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%.
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded income tax expense of $12.8 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 10.5% for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to (254.7)% for the year ended December 31, 2011. A significant factor impacting our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was intercompany interest related withholding taxes of $4.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Such withholding taxes could be offset by application of foreign tax credits, but due to the uncertainty of utilization, a full valuation allowance was recognized.
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 was impacted by the utilization of loss carryforwards. In the year ended December 31, 2011, losses were recognized for which no tax benefit could be recognized. In addition, there was a $7.6 million effect of a deemed dividend under IRC section 956 in the year ended December 31, 2012.
Net Income
As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $121.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. As discussed above, the increase in net income was primarily due to a $68.6 million increase in foreign currency gain, a $47.3 million increase in operating income, a $2.4 million decrease in interest expenses, a $5.5 million loss on the early extinguishment of our 2018 Notes for the year ended December 31, 2011, partially offset by a $4.7 million increase in income tax expenses.
61
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal capital requirements are to fund sales and marketing, invest in research and development and capital equipment, to make debt service payments and to fund working capital needs. We calculate working capital as current assets less current liabilities.
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and our cash flows from operations and our financing activities. Our ability to manage cash and cash equivalents may be limited, as our primary cash flows are dictated by the terms of our sales and supply agreements, contractual obligations, debt instruments and legal and regulatory requirements. From time to time, we may sell accounts receivable to third parties under factoring agreements or engage in accounts receivable discounting to facilitate the collection of cash. For a description of our factoring arrangements and accounts receivable discounting, please see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary DataNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 4. Accounts Receivable included elsewhere in this Report. In addition, from time to time, we may make payments to our vendors on extended terms with their consent.
Although we currently anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our expected cash needs for the next twelve months, we may require or choose to obtain additional financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution. If we need to raise additional funds in the future and are unable to do so or obtain additional financing on unfavorable terms in the future, it is possible we would have to limit certain planned activities including capital expenditures, sales and marketing, and research and development activities.
Year ended December 31, 2013 compared to year ended December 31, 2012
As of December 31, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $153.6 million, a $28.6 million decrease, compared to $182.2 million as of December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted from $44.1 million of cash outflow used in investing activities and $50.1 million of cash outflow used in financing activities including our repurchase of $51.0 million of our common stock, which was offset by $68.8 million of cash inflow provided by operating activities.
On October 7, 2011, our Board adopted a stock repurchase program whereby we may, subject to prevailing market conditions and other factors, repurchase up to $35.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Our Board extended and increased the program by an additional $25.0 million in August 2012, for a maximum aggregate repurchase amount under the original program of up to $60.0 million. On July 30, 2013, we announced that the Board approved a new stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock. The new stock repurchase program was effective August 5, 2013 through December 15, 2014, and replaced the original stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program did not require that we purchase a minimum amount of shares of our common stock and may be commenced, suspended, resumed or terminated at any time without notice. The timing and extent of any repurchases were dependent upon prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Companys common stock and other factors, and subject to contractual restrictions and restrictions under applicable law and regulations. As of December 31, 2013, we had repurchased 6,578,765 shares of our common stock in the open market under these programs at an aggregate cost of $90.9 million. In March 2014, the Board suspended the stock repurchase program indefinitely pending the completion of the Independent Investigation, and the stock repurchase program expired by its terms on December 15, 2014. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, we did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program.
Cash inflows generated by operating activities totaled $68.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $118.1 million of cash provided by operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2012. The net operating cash inflow for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects our net loss of $64.2 million and non-cash adjustments of $81.3 million, which mainly consisted of depreciation and amortization, provision for severance benefits, a loss on early extinguishment of senior notes and a decrease in net operating assets of $51.6 million.
Our working capital balance as of December 31, 2013 was $172.1 million compared to $238.6 million as of December 31, 2012. The $66.5 million decrease was primarily attributable to a $27.1 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $28.6 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $18.1 million increase in accrued expense. Our accounts receivable balance declined due to increased collection efforts by the Company. The increase in accrued expense is a result of increased accrual of salaries and related benefits, settlement obligations and withholding taxes on interest.
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $44.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $60.5 million of cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $16.3 million and $8.6 million related to the Dawin acquisition, which were partially offset by a $6.7 million change in restricted cash.
Cash outflow used in financing activities totaled $50.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $30.1 million of cash outflow used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012. The financing cash outflow for the year ended December 31, 2013 mainly consisted of the repayment of $229.3 million of our 2018 Notes and the repurchase of $51.0 million of our outstanding common stock, which were offset by $11.4 million of proceed received from the issuance of common stock in connection with option and warrant exercises and the net proceeds of $218.8 million from the issuance of our 2021 Notes. We repurchased 2,614,748 shares of common stock at a cost of $51.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, capital expenditures were $43.1 million, a $16.3 million, or 27.5%, decrease from $59.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a comparatively larger high-technology investment in 2012.
Year ended December 31, 2012 compared to year ended December 31, 2011
As of December 31, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $182.2 million, a $20.1 million increase, compared to $162.1 million as of December 31, 2011. The increase resulted from $118.1 million of cash inflow provided by operating activities, which was offset by $60.5 million of cash outflow used in investing activities including $8.6 million related to the Dawin acquisition and $30.1 million of cash outflow used in financing activities including our repurchase of $28.1 million of our common stock.
Cash inflows generated by operating activities totaled $118.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $103.6 million of cash provided by operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2011. The net operating cash inflow for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflects our net income of $110.0 million and non-cash adjustments of $(8.6) million, which mainly consisted of gain on foreign currency translation, depreciation and amortization and accrued severance benefits and a decrease in net operating assets of $16.6 million.
Our working capital balance as of December 31, 2012 was $238.6 million compared to $212.0 million as of December 31, 2011. The $26.6 million increase was primarily attributable to a $20.1 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $19.7 million increase in inventories, which were partially offset by a $11.9 million increase in accrued expense.
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $60.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $56.1 million of cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to $8.6 million related to the Dawin acquisition and a $11.6 million increase in capital expenditures, which were partially offset by a $14.0 million change in restricted cash.
Cash outflow used in financing activities totaled $30.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $59.1 million of cash outflow used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011. The financing cash outflow for the year ended December 31, 2012 mainly consists of the repurchase of $28.1 million of our outstanding common stock and $3.0 million repayment of capital lease obligations. We repurchased 2,432,477 shares of common stock at a cost of $28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, capital expenditures were $59.4 million, a $11.6 million, or 24.3%, increase from $47.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was due to supporting capacity expansion and technology improvements at our fabrication facilities in anticipation of sales growth.
Seasonality
Our net sales and number of distinct products sold are affected by market variations from quarter to quarter due to business cycles, and resulting product demand, of our customers. In our Display Solutions and Power Solutions business lines, consumer products manufacturers generally reduce orders in order to reduce excess inventory remaining from the holiday season. In our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business, the supply-demand cycle is usually one quarter ahead of the broader semiconductor market due to lead time from wafer input to shipment to our customers, so the demand for these products tends to peak in the third quarter and is slower in the fourth and first quarters.

The indenture relating to the 2021 Notes contains covenants that limit our ability and our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or distribution on account of or purchase or redeem our capital stock or equity interests of the restricted subsidiaries; (ii) make any principal payment on, or redeem or repurchase, prior to any scheduled repayment or maturity, any subordinated indebtedness; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur additional indebtedness and issue certain types of capital stock; (v) create or incur any lien (except for permitted liens) that secures obligations under any indebtedness; (vi) merge with or into or sell all or substantially all of our assets to other companies; (vii) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; (viii) guarantee the payment of any indebtedness; (ix) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (x) enter into agreements that would restrict the ability of the restricted subsidiaries to make distributions with respect to their equity to us or other restricted subsidiaries, to make loans to us or other restricted subsidiaries or to transfer assets to us or other restricted subsidiaries; and (xi) designate unrestricted subsidiaries.
We lease equipment for manufacturing and research and development purposes. These leases are accounted for as capital leases as the ownership of the equipment will be transferred to us upon expiration of the lease terms or we have bargain purchase options at the end of the lease terms.
We lease land, office space and equipment under various operating lease agreements that expire through 2034.
We follow ASC guidance on uncertain tax positions. Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $3.7 million as of December 31, 2013. These unrecognized tax benefits have been excluded from the above table because we cannot estimate the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the related disclosures in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
We believe that our significant accounting policies, which are described in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary DataNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies included elsewhere in this Report, are critical due to the fact that they involve a high degree of judgment and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the business environment in which we operate changes.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped to or accepted by the customer depending on the terms of the arrangement.
A portion of our sales are made through distributors for which revenue recognition criteria are usually met when the product is shipped to or accepted by the distributor, consistent with the principles described above. However, the risk of loss may not pass upon shipment of products to the distributors due to a variety of reasons, including the nature of the business arrangement with the distributors. For example, the financial condition of a distributor may indicate that payments by the distributor to us are contingent on resale of products to an end customer. In this situation, we defer recognition of revenue and cost of revenue on transactions with such distributor until we are informed by the distributor that the product has been resold to the end customer.
In accordance with revenue recognition guidance, any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer is presented in the statements of operations on a net basis (excluded from revenues).
We provide a warranty, under which customers can return defective products. We estimate the costs related to those defective product returns and record them as a component of cost of sales.
In addition, we offer sales returns (other than those that relate to defective products under warranty), yield provisions, cash discounts for early payments and certain allowances to our customers, including distributors. We record reserves for those returns, discounts and allowances as a deduction from sales, based on historical experience and other quantitative and qualitative factors.
All amounts billed to a customer related to shipping and handling are classified as sales while all costs incurred by us for shipping and handling are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.
64
Sales of Accounts Receivable
We account for transfers of financial assets under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, as either sales or financings. Transfers of financial assets that result in sales accounting are those in which (1) the transfer legally isolates the transferred assets from the transferor, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and no condition both constraints the transferees right to pledge or exchange the assets and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor and (3) the transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets. If the transfer does not meet these criteria, the transfer is accounted for as a financing. Financial assets that are treated as sales are removed from our accounts with any realized gain or loss reflected in earning during the period of sale.
Product Warranties
We record, in other current liabilities, warranty liabilities for the estimated costs that may be incurred under our basic limited warranty. The standard limited warranty period is one year for the majority of products. This warranty covers defective products, and related liabilities are accrued when product revenues are recognized. Factors that affect our warranty liability include historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and repair or replacement costs per claim to satisfy our warranty obligation. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, we periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts when necessary.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method, which approximates the first in, first out method (FIFO). If net realizable value is less than cost at the balance sheet date, the carrying amount is reduced to the realizable value, and the difference is recognized as a loss on valuation of inventories within cost of sales. Inventory reserves are established when conditions indicate that the net realizable value is less than costs due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or other causes based on individual facts and circumstances. Reserves are also established for excess inventory based on inventory levels in excess of six months of projected demand for each specific product.
In addition, as prescribed in ASC 330, Inventory, the cost of inventories is determined based on the normal capacity of each fabrication facility. In case the capacity utilization is lower than a certain level that management believes to be normal, the fixed overhead costs per production unit which exceed those under normal capacity are charged to cost of sales rather than capitalized as inventories.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360). Recoverability is measured by comparing its carrying amount with the future net undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the fair value of assets using the present value of the future net cash flows generated by the respective long-lived assets.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets other than intellectual property include technology and customer relationships which are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from one to five years. Intellectual property assets acquired represent rights under patents, trademarks and property use rights and are amortized over their respective periods of benefit, ranging up to ten years, on a straight-line basis.
Income Taxes
Prior to its conversion to a corporation, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore was not subject to income taxes on its income. Taxes on its income were the responsibility of the individual equity owners of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC. MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation became a taxable entity according to the corporate conversion in March 2011. The Company operates a number of subsidiaries that are subject to local income taxes in those territories.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a companys financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
65
The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return utilizing a two-step process. In the first step, recognition, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a likelihood of greater than 50 percent of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We apply the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). This Statement requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Under the provisions of ASC 815, we may designate a derivative instrument as hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk (a cash flow hedge) or hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability (a fair value hedge). Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows the effective portion of a derivative instruments gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the consolidated statements of operations and requires that a company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of the transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. Both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, a hedge must be expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows or fair value attributable to the underlying risk being hedged. If we determine that a derivative instrument is no longer highly effective as a hedge, it discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and future changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in current earnings. We assess hedge effectiveness at the end of each quarter.
In accordance with ASC 815, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of a derivative instruments change in fair value are immediately recognized in earnings. Derivative instruments that do not qualify, or cease to qualify, as hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the adjustments are recorded through net income (loss).
The cash flows from derivative instruments receiving hedge accounting treatment are classified in the same categories as the hedged items in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (ASU 2014-11). The guidance in this update changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchasing financing arrangements. It also requires enhanced disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The accounting changes in this update are effective for public companies for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. In addition, for public companies, the disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-11 on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11). The adoption of ASU 2013-11 will require an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, unless an exception applies. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, (ASU 2013-02) which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under US GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under US GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The
66
update does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements and is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to the market risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market conditions, primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of our business, we are subject to market risks associated with interest rate movements and currency movements on our assets and liabilities.
Foreign Currency Exposures
We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on net income from our subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, as our foreign subsidiaries in Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan and Hong Kong use local currency as their functional currency. From time to time these subsidiaries have cash and financial instruments in local currency. The amounts held in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China are not material in regards to foreign currency movements. However, based on the cash and financial instruments balance at December 31, 2013 for our Korean subsidiary, a 10% devaluation of the Korean won against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease of $4.2 million in our U.S. dollar financial instruments and cash balances. Based on the Japanese yen cash balance at December 31, 2013, a 10% devaluation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease of $0.1 million in our U.S. dollar cash balance.
See Note 9. Derivative Financial Instruments to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsFactors Affecting Our Results of OperationsImpact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates on Reported Results of Operations for additional information regarding our foreign exchange hedging activities.
Interest Rate Exposures
As of December 31, 2013, $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes were outstanding. Our senior notes are subject to changes in fair value due to interest rate changes. If the market interest rate increases by 10% and all other variables were held constant from their levels at December 31, 2013, we estimate that the fair value of this fixed rate note would decrease by $8.6 million and we would have additional interest expense costs over the market rate of $0.9 million (on a 360-day basis). If the market interest rate decreased by 10% and all other variables were held constant from their levels at December 31, 2013, we estimate that the fair value of this fixed rate note would increase by $9.0 million and we would have a reduction in interest expense costs over the market rate of $1.0 million (on a 360-day basis).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to (1) not maintaining an effective control environment, with respect to: (i) an attitude of integrity and ethics against the pressure to achieve sales, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA targets, (ii)adherence to U.S. GAAP, (iii) utilization of the whistleblower program, (iv) prevention or detection of undisclosed business practices involving the circumvention of numerous internal controls under the management team then in place, and (v) appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training commensurate with the Companys financial reporting requirements under U.S. GAAP; (2) not maintaining effective monitoring activities to evaluate and communicate internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective actions, including maintaining an effective internal audit function; (3) not designing effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of period end adjusting entries; and (4) not designing effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of the Companys income tax accounting and disclosures, which existed as of that date. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting under Item 9A. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the December 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in managements report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements to correct for errors.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
Restatement
The Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and related financial information have been restated to correct accounting errors. For further details on the nature of the corrections and the related effects on the Companys previously issued consolidated financial statements, see Note 2, Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements. Restated balances have been identified with the notation As restated where appropriate. Throughout these notes, the term as previously reported will be used to refer to balances from 2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements as reported prior to the restatement.
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products for high-volume consumer, computer and communication applications. The Companys business is comprised of three key business lines: Display Solutions, Power Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. The Companys Display Solutions products include display drivers for use in a wide range of flat panel displays and mobile multimedia devices. The Companys Power Solutions products include discrete and integrated circuit solutions for power management in high-volume consumer, computer and communication applications. The Companys Semiconductor Manufacturing Services provides specialty analog and mixed-signal foundry services for fabless semiconductor companies that serve the consumer, computing and wireless end markets.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).
Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company including its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Business Combination
Pursuant to accounting guidance for business combinations (ASC 805), the Company (i) applies the definition of business and business combination as prescribed by the revised guidance; (ii) recognize assets acquired, liabilities assumed (including goodwill) measured at fair value at the acquisition date; (iii) recognize acquisition-related expenses in earnings; and (iv) capitalize technology and customer relationships at fair value as intangible assets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, stock based compensation, property plant and equipment, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, long-term employee benefits, contingencies liabilities, and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes and sales incentives, among others. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on managements best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be significantly different from the estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company has assessed in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (ASC 830), the functional currency of each of its subsidiaries in Luxembourg and the Netherlands and has designated the U.S. dollar to be their respective functional currencies. The Company and its other subsidiaries are utilizing their local currencies as their functional currencies. The financial statements of the subsidiaries in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into the U.S. dollar in accordance with ASC 830. All the assets and liabilities are translated to the U.S. dollar at the end-of-period exchange rates. Capital accounts are determined to be of a permanent nature and are therefore translated using historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates for the respective periods. Foreign currency translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment account in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) of stockholders equity. Gains and losses due to transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are included as a component of other income (expense) in the statement of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased.
Accounts Receivable Reserves
An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the aggregate estimated uncollectability of the Companys accounts receivable. The Company also records an estimate for sales returns, included within accounts receivable, net, based on the historical experience of the amount of goods that will be returned and refunded or replaced. In addition, the Company also includes in accounts receivable, an allowance for additional products that may have to be provided, free of charge, to compensate customers for products that do not meet previously agreed yield criteria, the low yield compensation reserve.
Sales of Accounts Receivable
The Company accounts for transfers of financial assets under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, as either sales or financings. Transfers of financial assets that result in sales accounting are those in which (1) the transfer legally isolates the transferred assets from the transferor, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and no condition both constraints the transferees right to pledge or exchange the assets and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor, and (3) the transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets. If the transfer does not meet these criteria, the transfer is accounted for as a financing. Financial assets that are treated as sales are removed from the Companys accounts with any realized gain or loss reflected in earning during the period of sale.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method, which approximates the first in, first out method (FIFO). If net realizable value is less than cost at the balance sheet date, the carrying amount is reduced to the realizable value, and the difference is recognized as a loss on valuation of inventories within cost of sales. Inventory reserves are established when conditions indicate that the net realizable value is less than costs due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes based on individual facts and circumstances. Reserves are also established for excess inventory based on inventory levels in excess of six months of projected demand for each specific product.
In addition, as prescribed in ASC 330, Inventory, the cost of inventories is determined based on the normal capacity of each fabrication facility. In case the capacity utilization is lower than a certain level that management believes to be normal, the fixed overhead costs per production unit which exceeds those under normal capacity are charged to cost of sales rather than capitalized as inventories.

(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as set forth below.
Buildings |
30 - 40 years | |||
Building related structures |
10 - 20 years | |||
Machinery and equipment |
10 - 12 years | |||
Vehicles and others |
5 years |
Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that enhance the value or significantly extend the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized.
Prior to July 1, 2011, the Company depreciated machinery and measurement equipment using the straight-line method over 5 to 10 years. However, based on an evaluation of the appropriateness of depreciable lives including a review of historical usage and a change in its strategic business plan, the Company determined that machinery and measurement equipment have a longer life than previously estimated. As a result, the Company changed the estimate of depreciable lives for machinery and measurement equipment to 10 to 12 years. The purpose of this change was to more accurately reflect the productive life of these assets. In accordance with ASC 250-10-45, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the change in life has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate on a prospective basis from July 1, 2011. As a result of the change in the estimated life of machinery and measurement equipment, cost of sales was $4.8 million lower, net loss was $5.2 million higher and net loss per diluted share was $0.13 higher for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360). Recoverability is measured by comparing its carrying amount with the future net undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the fair value of assets using the present value of the future net cash flows generated by the respective long-lived assets.
Restructuring Charges
The Company recognizes restructuring charges in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420). Certain costs and expenses related to exit or disposal activities are recorded as restructuring charges when liabilities for those costs and expenses are incurred.
Lease Transactions
The Company accounts for lease transactions as either operating leases or capital leases, depending on the terms of the underlying lease agreements. Machinery and equipment acquired under capital lease agreements are recorded at the lower of the present value of future minimum lease payments and estimated fair value of leased property and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In addition, the aggregate lease payments are recorded as capital lease obligations, net of unaccrued interest. Interest is amortized over the lease period using the effective interest rate method. Leases that do not qualify as capital leases are classified as operating leases, and the related rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the leased property and the lease term.

Software
The Company capitalizes certain external costs that are incurred to purchase and implement internal-use computer software. Direct costs relating to the development of software for internal use are capitalized after technological feasibility has been established, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the softwares estimated useful life, which is usually five years.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets other than intellectual property include technology and customer relationships which are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from one to five years. Intellectual property assets acquired represent rights under patents, trademarks and property use rights and are amortized over their respective periods of benefit, ranging up to ten years, on a straight-line basis.
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing using a two-step process after considering a qualitative assessment. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value (i.e., the fair value of reporting unit less the fair value of the units assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets) of the reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the excess is required to be recorded as an impairment charge in earnings. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter. Goodwill must be tested between annual tests if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company reviews changes in the business climate, changes in market capitalization, legal factors, operating performance indicators and competition, among other factors and their potential impact on the Companys fair value determination.
Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments
The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) for measurement and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level 1Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instruments anticipated life.
Level 3Inputs reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of the Companys financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Accrued Severance Benefits
The majority of accrued severance benefits is for employees in the Companys Korean subsidiary, MagnaChip Semiconductor Ltd. 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 December 31, 2013, 98% of all employees of the Company were eligible for severance benefits.
Accrued severance benefits are funded through a group severance insurance plan. The amounts funded under this insurance plan are classified as a reduction of the accrued severance benefits. Subsequent accruals are to be funded at the discretion of the Company.
In accordance with the National Pension Act of the Republic of Korea, a certain portion of accrued severance benefits is deposited with the National Pension Fund and deducted from the accrued severance benefits. The contributed amount is paid to employees from the National Pension Fund upon their retirement.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped to or accepted by the customer depending on the terms of the arrangement.
A portion of the Companys sales are made through distributors for which revenue recognition criteria are usually met when the product is shipped to or accepted by the distributors, consistent with the principles described above. However, the risk of loss may not pass upon shipment of products to the distributors due to a variety of reasons, including the nature of the business arrangement with the distributors. For example, the financial condition of a distributor may indicate that payments by the distributor to the Company are contingent on resale of products to an end customer. In this situation, the Company defers recognition of revenue and cost of revenue on transactions with such distributor until the Company is informed by the distributor that the product has been resold to the end customer.
In accordance with revenue recognition guidance, any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer is presented in the statements of operations on a net basis (excluded from revenues).
The Company provides a warranty, under which customers can return defective products. The Company estimates the costs related to those defective product returns and records them as a component of cost of sales.
In addition, the Company offers sales returns (other than those that relate to defective products under warranty), yield provisions, cash discounts for early payments and certain allowances to its customers, including distributors. The Company records reserves for those returns, discounts and allowances as a deduction from sales, based on historical experience and other quantitative and qualitative factors.
All amounts billed to a customer related to shipping and handling are classified as sales while all costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses. The amounts charged to selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,850 thousand, $3,057 thousand, and $2,408 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). This Statement requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Under the provisions of ASC 815, the Company may designate a derivative instrument as hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk (a cash flow hedge) or hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability (a fair value hedge). Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows the effective portion of a derivative instruments gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the consolidated statements of operations and requires that a company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of the transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. Both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, a hedge must be expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows or fair value attributable to the underlying risk being hedged. If the Company determines that a derivative instrument is no longer highly effective as a hedge, it discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and future changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in current earnings. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness at the end of each quarter.
In accordance with ASC 815, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of a derivative instruments change in fair value are immediately recognized in earnings. Derivative instruments that do not qualify, or cease to qualify, as hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the adjustments are recorded through net income (loss).
The cash flows from derivative instruments receiving hedge accounting treatment are classified in the same categories as the hedged items in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $161 thousand, $142 thousand and $148 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Product Warranties
The Company records, in other current liabilities, warranty liabilities for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty. The standard limited warranty period is one year for the majority of products. This warranty covers defective products, and related liabilities are accrued when product revenues are recognized. Factors that affect the Companys warranty liability include historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and repair or replacement costs per claim to satisfy the Companys warranty obligation. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts when necessary.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include wafers, masks, employee expenses, contractor fees, building costs, utilities and administrative expenses. Acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D, assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and are not subject to amortization. An IPR&D asset must be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the IPR&D asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the IPR&D asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the IPR&D asset will be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited. The initial determination and subsequent evaluation for impairment of the IPR&D asset requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. Once the IPR&D projects have been completed, the useful life of the IPR&D asset is determined and amortized accordingly.

Licensed Patents and Technologies
The Company has entered into a number of royalty agreements to license patents and technology used in the design of its products. The Company carries two types of royalties: lump-sum and running basis. Lump-sum royalties which require initial payments, usually paid in installments, represent a non-refundable commitment, such that the total present value of these payments is recorded as a prepaid expense and a liability upon execution of the agreements and the costs are amortized over the contract period using the straight-line method and charged to research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Running royalties are paid based on the revenue of related products sold by the Company.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. As permitted under ASC 718, the Company elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting based on the graded attribution method.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to measure the grant-date-fair-value of options. The Black-Scholes model requires certain assumptions to determine an options fair value, including expected term, risk free interest, expected volatility and fair value of underlying common share. The expected term of each option grant was based on employees expected exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior and the risk free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period corresponding with the expected term at the time of grant. The expected volatility was estimated using historical volatility of share prices of similar public entities. No dividends were assumed for this calculation of option value.
Earnings per Share
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260), the Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the dilution of potential common stock outstanding during the period. In determining the hypothetical shares repurchased, the Company uses the average share price for the period.
Income Taxes
Prior to its conversion to a corporation, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore was not subject to income taxes on its income. Taxes on its income were the responsibility of the individual equity owners of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC. MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation became a taxable entity according to the corporate conversion in March 2011. The Company operates a number of subsidiaries that are subject to local income taxes in those territories.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a companys financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return utilizing a two-step process. In the first step, recognition, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a likelihood of greater than 50 percent of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and generally does not require collateral for customers on accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, which are periodically reviewed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (ASU 2014-11). The guidance in this update changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchasing financing arrangements. It also requires enhanced disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The accounting changes in this update are effective for public companies for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. In addition, for public companies, the disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-11 on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11). The adoption of ASU 2013-11 will require an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, unless an exception applies. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
Background and Scope of Investigation
In January 2014, the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) commenced an internal investigation into the Companys accounting practices and procedures with outside professional advisors (the Independent Investigation). The Independent Investigation involved procedures that included forensic analysis and inquiry directed to aspects of the Companys accounting and financial reporting practices, and evaluated aspects of its historical accounting and financial reporting practices since 2011. The Independent Investigation initially raised questions relating to numerous accounting transactions, most of which involved revenue recognition practices relating to the Companys distributor relationships.
Based on initial findings and observations from the Independent Investigation regarding errors in the Companys revenue recognition practices related to sales through distributors, the Company announced on March 11, 2014 that the Audit Committee concluded that the Companys previously issued financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30 in 2013 and 2012 should no longer be relied upon.
The Independent Investigation continued through October 2014 and identified numerous accounting errors, most of which involved revenue recognition, cost of goods sold, inventory reserves, fixed asset capitalization, and expense recognition and allocation. It also identified deficiencies regarding business practices related to distributors, non-distributor customers and vendors. Concurrently with the Independent Investigation, management conducted extensive internal reviews of its financial accounting and reporting practices and internal control over financial reporting. The Independent Investigation and managements internal review identified evidence of errors in the Companys accounting and deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting.
Restatement Adjustments
As a result of the issues identified in the Independent Investigation and the managements internal review, the Company restated its previously reported consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, including the stockholders equity balance as of January 1, 2011, in order to correct certain previously reported amounts.
The impact of the errors to the previous statements of operations, balance sheets and statements of cash flows has been detailed in the tables below. A description of the nature of the errors follows.
85
MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
Revenue Recognition
Sales through DistributorsThe largest portion of revenue recognition adjustments relate to correcting the timing and amount of revenue recognized on the sale of products through certain distributors. During the course of the Independent Investigation and managements internal review, it was determined that the application of its revenue recognition policy was not appropriate in these situations. Revenue had been recognized without persuasive evidence of an arrangement and the collectability of the sales price not being reasonably assured. Furthermore, in some circumstances, revenue was recognized prior to risk of loss being transferred.
Accordingly, related revenues and cost of sales were reversed in the period in which the accounting errors took place and recognized in subsequent periods when all of the revenue recognition criteria were met. These adjustments also include the impact of foreign currency exchange rate differences between periods of de-recognition and recognition of the revenue transactions.
OtherThe other revenue recognition adjustments include transactions where the Company recognized revenue in an incorrect period or recognized an incorrect amount of revenue. The primary categories of other revenue recognition adjustments include the following:
| Unfinished ProductsThe Company identified recognition of revenues on unfinished or semi-finished products. These products were completed and shipped to the distributor or end customer after the related revenues were recognized. |
| Non-recurring Engineering (NRE)The Company provides NRE services to develop prototype wafers mainly for the Companys foundry service customers. The Company identified revenue related to certain NRE arrangements recognized earlier or later than at the time that the required prototype wafer was delivered. |
| ConcessionsThe Company identified various types of unrecorded concessions provided to its distributors and customers, including future discounts, price adjustments, free products and others to incentivize distributors and customers to make purchases. Such concessions should be recorded as a deduction from revenues at the time when the related revenues are recognized. |
| Direct Customer SalesThe Company identified certain sales transactions to a customer that were recognized when the products were taken from its manufacturing facility to warehouse, rather than when the products were delivered to the customers location. The arrangement related to these transactions did not have a fixed schedule for delivery to a customers location and were prematurely recognized as revenues. |
Hedge AccountingAs a result of incorrect recognition of revenue discussed in Revenue RecognitionSales through Distributors and Revenue RecognitionOther, the Companys hedge accounting, related to the change in the effective portion of our derivative instruments gains and losses, was adjusted as key assumptions determining the amount are derived from revenues.
ReservesAs a result of incorrect recognition of revenue discussed in Revenue RecognitionSales through Distributors and Revenue RecognitionOther, adjustments for reserves, related to estimated sales returns, low yield compensation, and warranty liabilities, also required corrections as key assumptions in determining these amounts are derived from revenues.
Manufacturing CostThe Company corrected certain fabrication and back-end processing costs that were not recorded consistently with the progression of its manufacturing activities. As a result, the Companys cost of sales were increased by approximately $2,600 thousand and decreased by approximately $1,600 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to account for manufacturing costs during the period in which they were incurred.
Inventory Reserves
The Company corrected errors with respect to how the Company previously forecasted revenues for the purposes of determining inventory reserves. As a result, the Company performed a retrospective review of its inventory reserve calculation and revised the revenue forecast component of the reserve calculation. In addition, as a result of the correction of revenue for certain transactions discussed in Revenue RecognitionSales through Distributors and Revenue RecognitionOther, a significant portion of the revenues were reversed rather than deferred. The failure of the anticipated orders from final customers materializing resulted in a significantly higher excess and obsolete reserves for the restatement and subsequent periods. In addition, the Company corrected errors with respect to obsolete and aged inventory reserves that were previously understated due to the misclassification or errors in certain inventory items. Based on this review and revision of the reserve estimates, the Company has determined that it previously understated inventory reserves for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
Understated Employee Benefits
The Company identified that certain amounts of earned vacation were not included in calculating its severance accrual, resulting in an understatement of accrued severance benefits.
The Company also identified that vested compensation claims by employees who have rendered long-term services were accounted for on a cash basis rather than on an accrual basis, resulting in an understatement of long-term service liabilities.
Settlement Obligations
The Company identified certain cash and in-kind payments to a customer in connection with settling a claim involving products that may have caused a failure in the customers product. Although the Company does not agree with the claim, as its product met the customers specifications, the Company considered a number of factors and decided not to dispute the claim but make certain cash and in-kind payments as demanded by the customer. A number of cash and in-kind payments were made to the customer during the each of the years presented in Note 2 and were recorded as cost of sales and/or reduction of revenues at the time that they were paid rather than accrued when each cash or in-kind payment became probable.
Tax Matters
Income TaxRealization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on the Companys ability to generate future taxable income. In the previously reported consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had released $64,749 thousand of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at the Companys Korean subsidiary and, consequently, a corresponding amount of income tax benefit was recognized.
During the managements internal review, key assumptions and forecast of future taxable income were reassessed based on restated financial data as to whether deferred tax assets will ultimately be realized. In its reassessment, the Company concluded that the objective and verifiable negative evidence represented by recent actual operating losses outweighed more subjective positive evidence of anticipated future income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible. As a result, the Company determined that it was necessary to record a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $64,749 thousand as of December 31, 2012. The related expense was recorded in the Companys statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 as an income tax expense. In addition, managements review identified income tax adjustments attributable to certain foreign subsidiaries other than Korea and made an adjustment amounting to $112 thousand.
The restatement adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 impacted our temporary differences between our book income and taxable income, which resulted in an increase of our deferred tax assets for which a full valuation allowance was recorded for the fiscal years then ended and thus there was no tax impact of the other restatement adjustments.
OtherThe Company identified liabilities related to non-income-based taxes that the Company may be exposed to in connection with certain tax positions taken during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. We considered the period in which the underlying cause of action occurred, degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and whether we could make a reasonable estimate.
Account Classification
RevenueThe Company corrected the classification of rental income that was previously recorded as net sales when it should have been recorded in other income (expenses).
ExpenseThe Company identified errors in classification of expenses that were recorded as research and development when they should have been recorded as cost of sales and vice versa for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. In addition, the Company identified an error in the true-up of expenses that were recorded as selling, general and administrative when it should have been recorded as restructuring and impairment charges as of December 31, 2011. As a result, the Company recorded adjustments to correct the classifications in net expenses.
Cost Center Allocation
The Company identified costs from certain cost centers that were not always allocated consistently with the nature of the Companys business. As a result, the Company recorded adjustments to reclassify the related costs from cost of sales to selling, general and administrative expenses.

Other Adjustments
In addition to the restatement adjustments described above, the Company has identified other errors that are not material, individually or in the aggregate, but have been recorded in connection with the restatement.
Included in other adjustments are as follows:
| Accrued LiabilitiesThe Company identified costs related to certain goods and services that were recorded at the time of receipt of invoice rather than when the goods were delivered or services were rendered. As a result, the Company recorded adjustments to cost of sales and research and development expense. |
| Maintenance CostsThe Company identified certain maintenance expenses that were inappropriately capitalized and depreciated for the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result, the Company corrected these errors by reversing the related amounts in property, plant and equipment, and recorded them in cost of sales and research and development expense for the year then ended. |
| Stock-based CompensationThe Company identified incorrect application of assumptions in computation of stock-based compensation expenses. As a result, the Company recorded adjustments to increase compensation expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. |

3. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires, among other things, the Companys valuation techniques used to measure fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table represents the Companys assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and the basis for that measurement:

$ | 223,923 | $ | 229,500 | $ | | $ | | $ | | $ | |
The Company used net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Notes of $218.8 million, which represents $225.0 million of principal amount net of $1.1 million of original issue discount and $5.1 million of debt issuance costs, together with cash on hand, to repay all of the then outstanding 2018 Notes, including applicable premium and accrued interest, and to pay related fees and expenses of the 2021 Notes offering. For further description of the senior notes, see Note 11, Long-term Borrowings.
Fair Values Measured on a Non-recurring Basis
The Companys non-financial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition and are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The Company uses unobservable inputs (Level 3) to the valuation methodologies that were significant to the fair value measurements, and the valuations required management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company performed its annual impairment analysis and recorded an impairment charge of $5,253 thousand related to the Dawin acquisition. See Note 7, Intangible Assets for additional information.

On March 2, 2012, the Companys Korean subsidiary, MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd., completed the acquisition of Dawin Electronics, a privately-held semiconductor company that designs and manufactures insulated-gate bipolar transistors, or IGBTs, Fast Recovery Diode and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, or MOSFET, modules (the Dawin acquisition). As required by accounting guidance for business combinations, the Company allocated the purchase price to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the effective date of acquisition. The total consideration paid for the acquisition amounted to $9,291 thousand and the Company recognized goodwill of $3,163 thousand.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Companys management became aware that certain technology being developed in relation to the Dawin acquisition could no longer be used. The Company considered this event as an indicator of impairment in performing its annual analysis for potential impairment of its goodwill, which included examining, based on factors and conditions then existing, the impact of current general economic conditions on its future prospects. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that goodwill and certain technology associated with the Dawin acquisition were impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $3,389 thousand related to goodwill and $1,864 thousand of intangible assets.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Companys Korean subsidiary entered into option, forward and 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 derivative contracts as of December 31, 2013 are as follows:

The option, forward and zero cost collar contracts qualify as cash flow hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), 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 Company is utilizing the hypothetical derivative method to measure the effectiveness by comparing the changes in value of the actual derivative versus the change in fair value of the hypothetical derivative.
The fair values of the Companys outstanding forward and zero cost collar contracts recorded as assets as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

13. Warrants
In connection with the Companys reorganization, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,875 thousand of the Companys common stock. The warrants were issued in partial satisfaction of the claims of the holders of the Companys Senior Subordinated Notes and are exercisable at a price of $15.76 per share at any time following the issue date of the warrants, so long as the exercise of the warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The value of each warrant to purchase one common share was $1.35, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: fair value of $6.32 per common share, exercise price of $15.76 per share, risk free rate of interest of 2.3%, volatility of 50%, dividend rate of 0% and term of 5 years. The warrants expired on November 9, 2014.

On October 7, 2011, the Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program whereby the Company may, subject to prevailing market conditions and other factors, repurchase up to $35 million of its outstanding common stock. The Board of Directors extended and increased the program by an additional $25 million in August 2012, for a maximum aggregate repurchase amount under the original program of up to $60 million. On July 30, 2013, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The new stock repurchase program was effective August 5, 2013 through December 15, 2014, and replaced the original stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program did not require that the Company purchases a minimum amount of shares of its common stock and may be commenced, suspended, resumed or terminated at any time without notice. The timing and extent of any repurchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Companys common stock and other factors, and subject to contractual restrictions and restrictions under applicable law and regulations. The Company purchased 2,615 thousand shares of common stock on the open market at a cost of $51,000 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2,432 thousand shares of common stock at a cost of $28,125 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company purchased 1,532 thousand shares of common stock at a cost of $11,793 thousand. The Company accounted for the treasury stock using the cost method, which treats it as a temporary reduction in stockholders equity. As a result, the stockholders equity has decreased by $51,000 thousand, $28,125 thousand and $11,793 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In March 2014, the Board of Directors suspended the stock repurchase program indefinitely pending the completion of the Independent Investigation, and the stock repurchase program expired by its terms on December 15, 2014. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program.
15. Equity Incentive Plans
The Company adopted its 2009 Common Unit Plan effective December 8, 2009, which is administered by the board of directors. Under the plan, employees, consultants and non-employee directors are eligible for equity incentives, including grants of options to purchase the Companys common stock or restricted stock bonuses or restricted stock purchase rights and deferred stock awards, subject to terms and conditions determined by the board of directors. The term of options shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock purchase rights shall be exercisable within a period established by the board of directors, which shall in no event exceed thirty days from the effective date of the grant. As of December 31, 2013, an aggregate maximum of 5,221 thousand shares were authorized and 553 thousand shares were reserved for all future grants.
Stock options are generally granted with exercise prices of no less than the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the grant date. The requisite service period, or the period during which a grantee is required to provide service in exchange for option grants, coincides with the vesting period. The stock options vest over three years following grant, with 34% of the common stock vesting and becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of grant date and 8% or 9% of the common stock subject to the options vesting on completion of each three-month period thereafter.

The purchase price for shares issuable under each restricted stock purchase right shall be established by the board of directors in its discretion. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be required as a condition of receiving shares pursuant to a restricted stock bonus, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a participating company or for its benefit. Stock issued pursuant to any restricted stock award may (but need not) be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the satisfaction of such service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria as shall be established by the board of directors and set forth in the award agreement evidencing such award. During any period in which stock acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award remain subject to vesting conditions, such stock may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than pursuant to an ownership change event or transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The grantee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding stock, including the right to vote such stock and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such stock; provided, however, that if so determined by the board of directors and provided by the award agreement, such dividends and distributions shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as the stock subject to the restricted stock award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid. If a grantees service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the grantees death or disability), then (a) the Company (or its assignee) has the option to repurchase for the purchase price paid by the grantee any stock acquired by the grantee pursuant to a restricted stock purchase right which remain subject to vesting conditions as of the date of the grantees termination of service and (b) the grantee shall forfeit to the Company any stock acquired by the grantee pursuant to a restricted stock bonus which remain subject to vesting conditions as of the date of the grantees termination of service. The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.
No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) is required as a condition of receiving a deferred stock award, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a participating company or for its benefit. Deferred stock awards may (but need not) be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the satisfaction of such service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria as shall be established by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the award agreement evidencing such award. Grantees have no voting rights with respect to stock represented by deferred stock awards until the date of the issuance of such stock (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). If a grantees service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the grantees death or disability), then the grantee shall forfeit to the Company any deferred stock pursuant to the award which remain subject to vesting conditions as of the date of the grantees termination of service, and, in the event of the grantees termination for cause, such deferred stock award to the extent not yet settled. The Company shall issue to a grantee on the date on which deferred stock subject to the grantees deferred stock award vest or on such other date determined by the board of directors, in its discretion, and set forth in the award agreement one share (and/or any other new, substituted or additional securities or other property) for each deferred stock then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable taxes, if any.

17. Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), Net
Net foreign currency gain or loss includes non-cash translation gain or loss associated with intercompany balances. A substantial portion of the Companys net foreign currency gain or loss is non-cash translation gain or loss associated with intercompany long-term loans to our Korean subsidiary. The loans are denominated in U.S. dollars and are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2013, the total intercompany loan balance was $536 million. The Korean won to U.S. dollar exchange rates were 1,055.3:1, 1,071.1:1 and 1,153.3:1 using the first base rate as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as quoted by the Korea Exchange Bank.
18. Income Taxes
The Companys income tax expenses are composed of domestic and foreign income taxes depending on the relevant tax jurisdiction. Domestic refers to the income before taxes and current income taxes generated or incurred in the United States, where the parent company resides.

The Companys annual effective tax rate was 10.5% for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The differences between the annual effective tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily result from the non-income based withholding tax levied on intercompany interest income in the Companys Dutch subsidiary, application of lower tax rates associated with certain earnings from the Companys operations outside the U.S., the parent Companys interest income, which is non-taxable for US tax purposes and the change of valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.
The statutory income tax rate of the Companys Korean subsidiary, MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd., applicable to the Company was approximately 24.2% in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

The valuation allowances at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are primarily attributable to net deferred tax assets at the Companys Korean subsidiary for which, due to expected losses related to the Companys Korean subsidiary in future years, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, net of its deferred tax liabilities, and against certain foreign subsidiarys deferred tax assets pertaining to its related tax loss carry-forwards that are not anticipated to generate a tax benefit. Changes in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

The amount presented as Charged to expense (income) primarily relates to the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards, or pre-tax losses for which there is no tax benefit.
The evaluation of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires the Company to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Companys ability to generate future taxable income within the period during which the temporary differences reverse, the outlook for the economic environment in which the Company operates and the overall future industry outlook.
As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $2,244 thousand, $4,374 thousand and $6,846 thousand, respectively, related to the Companys Japanese subsidiary. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $178,729 thousand, $162,968 thousand and $200,056 thousand on its deferred tax assets related to temporary differences, net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credit in domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Company maintained to record these valuation allowances on deferred tax assets based on its assessment that the negative evidence of expected losses in early future years outweighed the positive evidence of historical income over a number of years.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $195,421 thousand of net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income. The majority of net operating loss is associated with the Companys Korean subsidiary, which expires in 2019, and with the Companys Luxembourg subsidiary with indefinite expiration. The Company utilized net operating loss of $69,159 thousand, $86,938 thousand and $32,749 thousand, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company also has Korean and Dutch tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $9,252 thousand and $16,789 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. The Korean tax credits expire at various dates starting from 2014 to 2018, and the Dutch tax credits are carried forward to be used for an indefinite period of time.

25. Subsequent Events
Matters Related to the Audit Committees Review, the Restatement of Certain of the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements, the State of the Companys Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and the Companys Failure to Timely File Periodic Reports with the SEC
Securities Class Action Complaint
On March 12, 2014, a purported class action was filed against the Company and certain of the Companys current and now-former officers on behalf of shareholders who purchased or acquired the Companys securities between February 1, 2012 and March 11, 2014. On September 30, 2014, an amended complaint was filed against the Company, certain current and now-former officers of the Company, certain members of the Companys Board of Directors, and a shareholder of the Company, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The action, Thomas et al., v. MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp., et al., No. 3:14-CV-1160, is pending in the Northern District of California. The Court has granted the plaintiffs thirty days from the date the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the 2013 Form 10-K) is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to file and serve a further amended complaint. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of reasonably possible losses, with respect to the matters described above.
SEC Enforcement Staff Investigation
In addition, in March 2014, the Company voluntarily reported to the SEC that the Audit Committee had determined that the Company incorrectly recognized revenue on certain transactions and as a result would restate its financial statements, and that the Audit Committee had commenced the Independent Investigation. Over the course of 2014, the Company voluntarily produced documents to the SEC regarding the various accounting issues identified during the Independent Investigation, and whether the Companys hiring of an accountant from the Companys independent registered public accounting firm impacted that accounting firms independence. On July 22, 2014, the Staff of the SECs Division of Enforcement obtained a Formal Order of Investigation. The Company will continue to cooperate with the SEC in this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of reasonably possible losses, with respect to the matters described above.
Late Filings and NYSE Actions
On April 4, 2014, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing that on April 2, 2014 the Company received from NYSE Regulation, Inc. (the NYSE) a notice of failure to satisfy a continued listing rule or standard and related monitoring. The notice informed the Company that, as a result of the failure to timely file the 2013 Form 10-K, the Company is subject to the procedures specified in Section 802.01E (SEC Annual Report Timely Filing Criteria) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (Section 802.01E). Under the Section 802.01E procedures, the NYSE will monitor the status of the filing of the 2013 Form 10-K and related public disclosures for up to a six-month period from its due date. If the Company did not file the 2013 Form 10-K within six months from the filing due date, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow the Companys common stock to trade for up to an additional six months pending the filing of the 2013 Form 10-K prior to commencing suspension or delisting procedures, depending on the Companys specific circumstances.
On September 5, 2014, the Company made a request to the NYSE that its shares are permitted to continue to trade on the NYSE while the Company completed its restatement of the consolidated financial statements. On October 3, 2014, the Company received an extension for continued listing and trading of the Companys common stock on the NYSE. The extension, subject to ongoing reassessment by the NYSE, provided the Company with an additional trading period until April 1, 2015, during which the Company can file its 2013 Form 10-K with the SEC. On February 12, 2015, the Company filed its 2013 Form 10-K, and simultaneously filed its Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014. The Company believes that these filings with the SEC satisfy the NYSE continued listing requirements.

2021 Notes indenture reporting covenant default
As disclosed in the Companys Form 8-K filed on June 25, 2014, the Company received a notice of default on June 20, 2014 (the 10-K and Q1 10-Q Notice of Default) from the Trustee under the Indenture. The 10-K and Q1 10-Q Notice of Default related to the failure by the Company, pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Indenture, to file with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 (the Initial Reporting Defaults). The Company did not cure the Initial Reporting Defaults within the applicable 60-day grace period and the Initial Reporting Defaults ripened into Events of Default. The Company elected, as the sole and exclusive remedy for the Events of Default, to pay additional interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes (the Additional Interest) for a period of 180 days following the occurrence of the Events of Default (the Additional Interest Period).
On August 20, 2014, the Company received a notice of default related to its failure to file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 (the Q2 10-Q Notice of Default), and on November 19, 2014, the Company received a notice of default related to its failure to file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 (the Q3 10-Q Notice of Default). These defaults also ripened into Events of Default and on December 29, 2014 and January 15, 2015, respectively, the Company elected to extend the Additional Interest Period for up to 180 days following each additional Event of Default.
Upon the filing with the SEC of this Report and expected filing of the Form 10-Qs for each of the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, the Company believes it will regain compliance with its reporting obligations under the Indenture, cure all identified covenant defaults in each of the 10-K and Q1 10-Q Notice of Default, the Q2 10-Q Notice of Default, and the Q3 10-Q Notice of Default, and cease accruing the Additional Interest on the Notes as of the filing date of 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Early termination of derivative contracts
On September 1, 2014, the Company and the counterparty, the Goldman Sachs International bank (GS), mutually agreed to terminate a zero cost collar contract under termination provisions of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreement. In connection with this termination, the Company received $1,050 thousand for settlement proceeds from GS.
On September 30, 2014, the Company and the counterparty, the UBS AG, Seoul Branch (UBS), mutually agreed to terminate a zero cost collar contract under termination provisions of the ISDA agreement. In connection with this termination, the Company received $430 thousand for settlement proceeds from UBS.
Close of a fabrication facility
On December 4, 2014, the Company approved a plan to close its six-inch fabrication facility in Cheongju, South Korea (the 6-inch fab). This plan is expected to be substantially implemented over the next 12 months, and the 6-inch fab is expected to be closed by the end of 2015. The Company plans to transfer the 6-inch fab employees to the Companys other facilities.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Background
In January 2014, the Audit Committee (the Audit Committee) of the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) commenced an internal investigation, with the assistance of independent legal counsel engaged by the Audit Committee and outside forensic accountants, into the Companys accounting practices and procedures (the Independent Investigation), initially reviewing certain revenue recognition practices and procedures that were raised during the 2013 year-end audit process.
As previously reported in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 11, 2014, the Audit Committee in consultation with management and the Board, concluded on March 6, 2014 that the Companys previously issued financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and the first three quarters of fiscal years 2013 should no longer be relied upon. Accordingly, the Company has restated its previously issued financial statements covering those periods. The Company is correcting the underlying errors for those periods within this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsRestatement of Consolidated Financial Statements, and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary DataNotes to Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 2. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 24. Unaudited Quarterly Financial Results.
As previously announced in March 2014, the then-Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company resigned and Jonathan Kim, our Senior Vice President of Finance and Chief Accounting Officer was appointed to also serve as the Interim Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company. Also as previously announced in May 2014, the then-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board resigned, and YJ Kim, our Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Display Solutions Division, was appointed to also serve as the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Principal Executive Officer of the Company.
(b) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Interim Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management of the Company, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2013. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
(c) Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria set forth in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
123
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Because of the material weaknesses described below, we concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.
Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrants annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on this definition we have concluded that the material weaknesses noted below existed in the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.
Control Environment:
We did not maintain an effective control environment based on the criteria established in the COSO Framework. Specifically, we did not maintain a control environment that effectively emphasized (i) an attitude of integrity and ethics against the pressure to achieve sales, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA targets, (ii) adherence to U.S. GAAP, (iii) utilization of the whistleblower program, and (iv) prevention or detection of undisclosed business practices involving the circumvention of internal controls under the management team then in place, resulting in the inaccurate accounting for certain transactions with respect to sales, cost of sales, inventory, fixed assets, provisions and income taxes, among others. In addition, we did not maintain an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training commensurate with our financial reporting requirements under U.S. GAAP.
Monitoring Activities:
We did not effectively evaluate and communicate internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective actions. Specifically, we did not maintain an effective internal audit function whereby the internal control team exercised full authority to independently report to the Audit Committee in order to provide adequate monitoring of control activities related to financial reporting throughout the organization. As a result, (i) the Companys monitoring activities, including internal audit function that should have prevented or detected errors or failure to abide by internal controls were not effective; and (ii) incomplete information was provided to the Companys Audit Committee, which limited the Audit Committees ability to effectively oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes and internal control over financial reporting of the Company.
Controls over the Period End Closing and Financial Reporting:
We did not design effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of our period end adjusting entries. Specifically, controls over the analysis, documentation, review and approval of the accounting and reporting of entries were not designed effectively to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the entries recorded.
Income Tax Accounting and Disclosures:
We did not design effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of our income tax accounting and disclosures. Specifically, we did not design effective controls over the review of tax rules and regulations and the analysis and review of accounting implications with respect to current and deferred income taxes, uncertain tax positions and related disclosures.
These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of the Companys consolidated financial statements and related financial disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and each of the first three quarters of 2012 and 2013. These material weaknesses also resulted in adjustments to our net sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, other income, income tax expense, and related assets and liabilities as well as the related financial disclosures for each of the first three quarters of 2013 and to our accounting records for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. In addition, these material weaknesses could result in further misstatements of the financial statements or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
The effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
124
(d) Remediation Plan
At the recommendation of the Audit Committee, based upon preliminary findings of the Independent Investigation, the Board created a new position of Chief Accounting Officer. Jonathan Kim was named to that position in March 2014.
The Company is in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address our material weaknesses. Our remediation plans are designed to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, and they include the following:
Control Environment:
The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer/Chief Accounting Officer (new management team) are committed to implementing and maintaining a strong control environment, high ethical standards, and financial reporting integrity. The new management has taken steps to communicate our expectation of the enhanced compliance with our ethical standards through various means including mandatory ethical compliance trainings for all employees. Through those employee training sessions, we specifically emphasized the importance of our whistleblower hotline, through which employees at all levels can anonymously submit information or express concerns regarding accounting, financial reporting, and violations of our code of ethics or other topics.
In addition, the new management team has implemented a sub-certification process, which requires that certain employees certify on a quarterly basis that they have no knowledge of (i) any transaction of which terms deviate from the terms of written sales or purchasing contracts, and (ii) any undisclosed or unauthorized transaction that should be communicated to the authorized personnel in the accounting team. Moreover, we are continuing to strengthen our accounting and finance teams by hiring permanent personnel with extensive U.S. GAAP experience, and have facilitated U.S. GAAP training programs for relevant employees.
Monitoring Activities:
We are building an environment that prioritizes compliance across the enterprise, placing special efforts on improving internal audits and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We hired a new Director of Compliance and Internal Audit, whose primary duties are to design, implement, and operate our internal control over financial reporting.
In order to reinforce the independence and objectivity of our internal audit activities from the management, the Director of Compliance and Internal Audit is authorized to report directly to the Audit Committee.
Period End Closing and Financial Reporting:
We are implementing additional review of period end adjusting entries with a detailed checklist, including the involvement of finance and operational executives, in order to strengthen controls over the completeness and accuracy of both recurring and non-recurring journal entries.
Income Tax Accounting and Disclosures:
We are continuously improving our procedures and controls over tax accounting and reporting by ensuring that we, on a timely basis, (i) review rules and regulations of tax jurisdictions relevant to each of our consolidated entities; (ii) review related accounting implications; and (iii) improve the competency of our accounting employees through ongoing training on income tax accounting, disclosure practices, and rules and regulations.
(e) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Companys executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of its equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, the Company believes that during 2013 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders were in compliance with Section 16(a).
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. We will provide a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics without charge to any person upon written request made to our General Counsel and Secretary at MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, c/o MagnaChip Semiconductor, Inc., 20400 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Suite 370, Cupertino, CA 95014. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is also available on our website at www.magnachip.com. We will disclose any waivers or amendments to the provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our website.
Assessment of Risk
Our Board believes that our compensation programs are designed such that they will not incentivize unnecessary risk-taking. The base salary component of our compensation program is a fixed amount and does not depend on performance. Our cash incentive program takes into account multiple factors, thus diversifying the risk associated with any single performance factor, and we believe it does not incentivize our executive officers to focus exclusively on short-term outcomes. Our equity awards are limited by the terms of our equity plans to a fixed maximum amount specified in the plan, and are subject to vesting to align the long-term interests of our executive officers with those of our equityholders.
Audit Committee
The Board has a standing Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Norby, as Chairman, Mr. Elkins, and Mr. Tavakoli. Our Board has determined that Mr. Norby is an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. Our Board has also determined that each of Mr. Norby, Mr. Elkins and Mr. Tavakoli is independent as that term is defined in both Rule 303A of the NYSE rules and Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee charter is posted and available on our website at www.magnachip.com. The information on or accessible through our website is not a part of or incorporated by reference in this Report.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Compensation Committee of our Board, or the Committee, has overall responsibility for administering our compensation program for our named executive officers. The Committees responsibilities consist of evaluating, approving and monitoring our executive officer and director compensation plans, policies and programs, as well as each of our equity-based compensation plans and policies. Prior to 2010, compensation decisions were made by the entire Board and for the discussion that follows, references to the Committee during such period refer to the entire Board. For 2013, our named executive officers were:
| Sang Park, Former Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer; |
| Margaret Sakai, Former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; |
| Young-Joon Kim, Interim Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, Display Solutions Division; |
| Tae Young Hwang, Chief Operating Officer and President; and |
| Brent Rowe, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales. |
The Committee seeks to establish total compensation for executive officers that is fair, reasonable and competitive. The Committee evaluates our compensation packages to ensure that:
| we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior executives in critical positions; |
| our executives are incentivized and rewarded for corporate growth, achievement of long-term corporate objectives and individual performance that meets or exceeds our expectations without encouraging unnecessary risk-taking; and |
| compensation provided to critical executives remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly-situated executives of companies in the semiconductor industry. |
The Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation packages align executives interests with those of our stockholders by rewarding performance that exceeds specific annual, long-term and strategic goals that are intended to improve stockholder value. These objectives include the achievement of financial performance goals and progress on projects that our Board anticipates will lead to future growth, as discussed more fully below.
The information set forth below in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the Committees general philosophy and historical approach.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
For named executive officers other than our chief executive officer, we have historically sought and considered input from our chief executive officer in making determinations regarding executive compensation. Our chief executive officer annually reviews the performance of our other named executive officers. Our chief executive officer subsequently presents conclusions and recommendations regarding such officers, including proposed salary adjustments and incentive amounts, to the Committee. The Committee then takes this information into account when it makes final decisions regarding any adjustments or awards.
The review of performance by the Committee and our chief executive officer of other executive officers is both an objective and subjective assessment of each executives contribution to our performance, leadership qualities, strengths and weaknesses and the individuals performance relative to goals set by the Committee or our chief executive officer, as applicable. The Committee and our chief executive officer do not systematically assign a weight to the factors, and may, in their discretion, consider or disregard any one factor which, in their sole discretion, is important to or irrelevant for a particular executive.
The Committees annual determinations regarding executive compensation are subject to the terms of the respective service agreements between us and the named executive officers (as set forth in more detail below). In addition to the annual reviews, the Committee also typically considers compensation changes upon a named executive officers promotion or other change in job responsibility. Neither our chief executive officer nor any of our other executives participates in deliberations relating to their own compensation.
Stockholder Input
The Committee also seeks to ensure that the compensation paid to the Companys executive officers is aligned with the interests of the Companys stockholders. In that respect, as part of its ongoing review of the compensation paid to the Companys executive officers, the Committee considered the approval by approximately 99% of the votes cast for the Say on Pay vote at the Companys 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and determined that the Companys executive compensation philosophy, compensation objectives, and compensation elements continued to be appropriate and did not make any changes to the Companys executive pay program in response to such stockholder vote.
130
Timing of Compensation Decisions
At the end of each fiscal year, our chief executive officer will review the performance of the other executive officers and present his conclusions and recommendations to the Committee. At that time and throughout the year, the Committee will also evaluate the performance of our chief executive officer, which is measured in substantial part against our consolidated financial performance. In January of the following fiscal year, the Committee will then assess the overall functioning of our compensation plans against our goals, and determine whether any changes to the allocation of compensation elements, or the structure or level of any particular compensation element, are warranted.
In connection with this process, our Committee generally establishes the elements of its performance-based cash bonus plan for the upcoming year. With respect to newly hired employees, our practice is typically to approve equity grants at the first meeting of the Committee following such employees hire date. We do not have any program, plan or practice to time equity award grants in coordination with the release of material non-public information. From time to time, additional equity awards may be granted to executive officers during the fiscal year.
Elements of Compensation
In making decisions regarding the pay of the named executive officers, the Committee looks to set a total compensation package for each officer that will retain high-quality talent and motivate executives to achieve the goals set by our Board. Our 2013 compensation package was composed of the following elements:
| annual base salary; |
| short-term cash incentives; |
| long-term equity incentives; |
| a benefits package that is generally available to all of our employees; and |
| expatriate and other executive benefits. |
Determination of Amount of Each Element of Compensation
General Background
The Committee seeks to establish a total cash compensation package for our named executive officers that is competitive with the compensation reflected in compensation data for similarly-situated executives in the peer group reviewed by the Committee, subject to adjustments based on each executives experience and performance. Historically, based on our review of industry specific survey data and the professional and market experience of our Committee members, we measured total cash compensation for our named executive officers against cash compensation paid to executives at similarly situated companies which we determined to be our select peer group. Base salaries for our named executive officers were benchmarked to median levels for companies in the select peer group, and were adjusted upward or downward for performance. Short-term cash incentives were put in place to provide for opportunities that may result in higher than median levels of cash compensation as compared to our select peer group if, and depending upon the extent to which, our performance and that of our named executive officers exceeded expectations and the goals established by the Committee for the year in question.
Historically, our select peer group has included other major Korea-based semiconductor companies, including Fairchild Korea, Dongbu Hitek, ChipPac Korea, Hynix Semiconductor, ASE Korea and Amkor Technology Korea. In addition, we also reviewed compensation data from Radford Korea, an independent compensation consultant, which surveyed the companies listed below, to assess how compensation for our select peer group related to compensation paid to executives in a broader range of technology companies.
131
132
The Committee makes annual determinations regarding cash incentive compensation based on our annual operating plan, which we adopt in the December preceding each fiscal year. The determination takes into account our expected performance in the coming fiscal year. The Committee makes all equity compensation decisions for our officers based on existing compensation arrangements for other executives at our Company with the same level of responsibility and based on a review of our select peer group with a view to maintaining internal consistency and parity.
Equity awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts and will constitute lesser or greater proportions of total compensation depending on the fair value of the awards. The Committee, relying on the professional and market experience of our Committee members, generally seeks to set equity awards at median levels of equity compensation at our select peer group companies. The Committee does not apply a formula or assign relative weight in making its determination. Instead, it makes a subjective determination after considering all information collectively.
The Committee may approve additional cash incentive payments or equity compensation grants from time to time during the year in its discretion.
Base Salary
Base salary is the guaranteed element of an employees annual cash compensation. Changes in base salary may be approved by the Committee for an executive if the median levels of base salary compensation for similarly-situated executives in our select peer group have changed, and may be further adjusted based upon the employees long-term performance, skill set and the value of that skill. The Committee evaluates the performance of each named executive officer on an annual basis based on the accomplishment of performance objectives that were established at the beginning of the prior fiscal year as well as its own subjective evaluation of the officers performance. In making its evaluation, the Committee makes a subjective qualitative assessment of the officers contribution to our performance during the preceding year, including leadership, success in attaining particular goals of a division for which that officer has responsibility, our overall financial performance and such other criteria as the Committee may deem relevant, including input from our Chief Executive Officer. The Committee then makes a subjective decision regarding any changes in base salary based on these factors and the data from our select peer group. The Committee does not systematically assign weights to any of the factors it considers, and may, in its discretion, ignore any factors or deem any one factor to have greater importance for a particular executive officer. Base salary adjustments generally take effect in the middle of our fiscal year. The base salaries of the Companys named executive officers for 2013 compare to the median of the Companys select peer group as follows: Mr. Park, Ms. Sakai, Mr. YJ Kim and Mr. Rowe were generally in line, and Mr. Hwang was slightly below.
Cash Incentives
Short-term cash incentives comprise a significant portion of the total target compensation package and are designed to reward executives for their contributions to meeting and exceeding our goals and to recognize and reward our executives in achieving these goals. Incentives are designed as a percentage of base salary and are awarded based on individual performance and our achievement of the annual, long-term and strategic quantitative goals set by our Committee.
In December 2009, our Board implemented a cash incentive plan effective as of January 1, 2010, which we call the Profit Sharing Plan. Each of our employees is eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Plan, and our Board intends for the Profit Sharing Plan to incentivize our named executive officers, officers and employees to exceed expectations throughout our entire fiscal year. The Committee administers the Profit Sharing Plan.
Under the Profit Sharing Plan, the Committee will review our business plan in December of each year and determine an annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA target, or the Base Target, for the upcoming fiscal year and set the targeted amount to be awarded to our named executive officers and employees, or the Profit Share, for meeting the Base Target and for achievement in excess of the Base Target.
The Base Target is calculated as a percentage of our forecasted gross annual revenue for the upcoming fiscal year. We determine our revenue forecast by looking at several factors, including existing orders from our customers, quarterly and annual forecasts from our customers, our product roadmap and how it corresponds with our projected customer needs, and the overall industry forecasts for the semiconductor market. The Committees goal is to set a Base Target that is difficult but not unreasonable to achieve. To determine the percentage of gross annual revenue for purposes of setting the Base Target, the Committee, in consultation with our Board, first determines a range of Adjusted EBITDA growth and gross margin that is competitive based upon the select peer group and will ensure that we build stockholder value, then sets a percentage such that the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA growth and gross margin is within that range. See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsExplanation and Reconciliation of Non-US GAAP MeasuresAdjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for a discussion of how we define and why we use Adjusted EBITDA.
133
Each named executive officer receives as a Profit Share a set percentage of their annual base salary once the Base Target is achieved. Executives with target annual incentive opportunities set forth in their employment agreements will be eligible to receive the target percentage set forth in such agreements. In the event we exceed the Base Target, we may pay to our named executive officers (together with all of our eligible employees) their pro rata portion of an additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in excess of the Base Target.
We generally pay the Profit Share during the normal pay period in the January following the conclusion of each fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated, and the Profit Share is only payable to those executives who have been employed by us during the entire fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated and who are employed by us on the Profit Share payment date, provided that the Profit Share is payable pro rata to any named executive officers who begin their employment during the fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated.
The Committee retains the sole discretion to (i) authorize the payment of the Profit Share in December of the relevant fiscal year when the Committee believes the Base Target will be achieved, (ii) pay Profit Shares when we achieve slightly less than the Base Target, and (iii) make interim Profit Share payments during the fiscal year. In addition to the Profit Sharing Plan, the Committee retains the right to grant discretionary incentives to our named executive officers as a reward for extraordinary performance. For example, all our named executive officers were paid a discretionary incentive in July 2012 in addition to the payment of a Profit Share in 2012, other than Mr. YJ Kim, who joined the Company in April 2013. Mr. Park received a discretionary bonus of $175,648, Ms. Sakai received $50,185, Mr. Hwang received $25,093, and Mr. Rowe received $31,000. These amounts were not based upon any numerical or formulaic factors, but rather were determined by the Committee based upon a subjective assessment of their respective individual contributions and are reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the column labeled Bonus.
For 2011, the implementation of the Profit Sharing Plan was modified pursuant to the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan to set an interim target that was paid during the first normal pay period following the conclusion of our second fiscal quarter of 2011. In addition, our named executive officers (and all of our other employees) were not eligible to earn the additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in excess of the Base Target even if we exceeded the Base Target or the interim target. In 2011, under the Profit Sharing Plan, we paid bonuses to our named executive officers in July 2011 but not in January 2012.
For 2012, the implementation of the Profit Sharing Plan was modified pursuant to the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan to set an interim target that was paid during the first normal pay period following the conclusion of our second fiscal quarter of 2012. The implementation was also modified to provide that we pay our named executive officers (and all our other employees) 70% of the interim target Profit Share and Base Target Profit Share in the event we achieved 91-100% of the interim target or Base Target, respectively, and 50% of the interim target Profit Share and Base Target Profit Share in the event we achieved 84% to under 91% of the interim target or Base Target, respectively. In addition, our named executive officers (and all of our other employees) were not eligible to earn the additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in excess of the Base Target even if we exceeded the Base Target or the interim target. Under the Profit Sharing Plan, we paid 100% of the interim target Profit Share in July 2012 and 50% of the Base Target Profit Share in January 2013. For 2012, Mr. Park received a Profit Share of $311,751, Ms. Sakai received a Profit Share of $123,333, Mr. Hwang received a Profit Share of $133,710, and Mr. Rowe received a Profit Share of $128,010.
For 2013, the implementation of the Profit Sharing Plan for was unchanged from 2012 except for the interim target and Base Target amounts and to provide that we pay our named executive officers (and all our other employees) 70% of the interim target Profit Share and Base Target Profit Share in the event we achieved 91.0-100% of the interim target or 92.2%-100% of the Base Target, and 50% of the interim target Profit Share and Base Target Profit Share in the event we achieved 83.3 to under 91.0% of the interim target or 84.5 to under 92.2% of the Base Target. For 2013, Mr. Park received a Profit Share of $172,978, Ms. Sakai received a Profit Share of $71,752, Mr. YJ Kim received a Profit Share of $24,347, Mr. Hwang received a Profit Share of $76,439, and Mr. Rowe received a Profit Share of $73,340.
Mr. YJ Kim was paid a one-time signing bonus and relocation allowance of $100,000 in connection with joining the Company in April 2013.
Equity Compensation
In addition to cash incentives, we offer equity incentives as a way to enhance the link between the creation of stockholder value and executive incentive compensation and to give our executives appropriate motivation and rewards for achieving increases in enterprise value. Under our 2009 Common Unit Plan, our Board granted options to acquire MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC common units and restricted unit bonus awards. Awards under our 2009 Common Unit Plan were converted into options for common stock and restricted common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation upon our corporate conversion. Such options vest in installments over three years following grant, with approximately one-third of the restricted unit awards vested at grant and the remainder vesting in two subsequent annual installments, as set forth in more detail below.
Under our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which replaced the 2009 Common Unit Plan immediately following our corporate conversion, the Committee may grant participants stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other stock-based and cash-based awards. Stock options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan generally vest over three years following grant, with thirty-four percent of the common stock vesting and becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of grant date and eight or nine percent of the common stock subject to the options vesting on completion of each three-month period thereafter. In granting equity awards, the Committee may establish any conditions or restrictions it deems appropriate. Stock options and stock appreciation rights must have exercise prices at least equal to the fair market value of the stock at
134
the time of their grant pursuant to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. The fair market value of the stock at the time of grant will generally be the closing price of a share of stock as quoted on the national or regional securities exchange or quotation system constituting the primary market for the stock on the date any grant is made. Prior to the exercise of a stock option or stock appreciation or settlement of an award denominated in units, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the stock subject to the award, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends. Participants receiving restricted stock awards are stockholders and have both voting rights and the right to receive dividends, except that dividends paid on unvested shares may remain subject to forfeiture until vested. Award vesting ceases upon termination of employment, and vested options and stock appreciation rights remain exercisable only for a limited period following such termination.
The Committee considers granting additional equity compensation in the event of new employment, a promotion or change in job responsibility or a change in median levels of equity compensation for similarly-situated executives at companies in our select peer group or in its discretion to reward or incentivize individual officers. The option award levels vary among participants based on their job grade and position. The Committee generally seeks to award equity compensation at levels consistent with the median levels for executives at companies in our select peer group, and will also make subjective determinations regarding adjustments to award amounts in light of factors such as the available pool, individual performance and role of executives. For example, the Committee may adjust the size of an award for an individual executive above the option award level for his or her position if the Committee determines that the executive has provided exceptional performance, or may increase the option award level for a position above the median level reflected in the select peer group if the position is considered by the Committee to be more critical to our long-term success. The Committee will generally maintain substantially equivalent award levels for executives at equivalent job grades. Stock option awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts.
As a result of our reorganization proceedings, all previously outstanding common and preferred units and options held by our named executive officers were cancelled. In December 2009, we granted new options to our executives with the option award amounts generally determined based upon the median levels of our select peer group. Thirty-four percent of the common units subject to the options vested and became exercisable on the first anniversary of grant date, with eight or nine percent of the common units subject to the options vesting on completion of each three-month period thereafter. In December 2009, in recognition of services provided in guiding us through our reorganization proceedings, our Board also granted each of our current named executive officers a restricted unit bonus. The amount of the restricted unit bonuses were not based upon any numerical or formulaic factors, nor based upon any comparative peer group, data or the number of options granted, but rather were determined based upon our Boards subjective assessment of individual contributions to the successful completion of the reorganization proceedings. We granted restricted unit bonuses in order to provide our executives with an equity incentive with a built-in gain equal to the value of the units as of the date of grant while still incentivizing them to contribute toward increasing our enterprise value. See Grants of Plan-Based Awards below for information regarding the number and value of units granted to each named executive officer. Thirty-four percent of each restricted unit bonus vested upon grant, with the remaining portion vesting in equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the grant date. No equity incentives were granted to our named executive officers in 2010 or 2011. In January 2012, because the December 2009 restricted unit bonuses had fully vested and the options granted in December 2009 would vest by the end of that year, the Committee granted additional options to all of our named executive officers, other than Mr. YJ Kim, who joined the Company in April 2013.
Upon the recommendation of our Board or chief executive officer, or otherwise, the Committee may in the future consider granting additional performance-based equity incentives.
Perquisites and Other Benefits
We provide the named executive officers with perquisites and other benefits, including expatriate benefits, that the Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. Generally, perquisite are determined based upon what the Committee considers to be the most customary perquisites offered by our select peer group and are not based upon a median cost for specific perquisites or for the perquisites in aggregate. The Committee determines the level and types of expatriate benefits for the executive officers based on local market surveys taken by our human resources group. These surveys are not limited to our select peer group, but include a broad range of non-Korea based companies with significant operations in Korea. Attributed costs of the personal benefits for the named executive officers are as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below.
Mr. Park and Ms. Sakai were expatriates during all of 2013. Mr. YJ Kim, who joined the Company in April 2013, was also an expatriate during 2013. Mr. Park, Ms. Sakai, and Mr. YJ Kim received expatriate benefits commensurate with market practice in Korea. These benefits, which were determined on an individual basis, included housing allowances, relocation allowances, insurance premiums, reimbursement for the use of a car, home leave flights, living expenses, tax equalization payments and tax advisory services, each as we deemed appropriate.
In addition, pursuant to the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act, certain executive officers resident in Korea with one or more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their employment for any reason. For purposes of this section, we call this benefit statutory severance. The base statutory severance is approximately one month of base salary per year of service. Mr. Hwang, Ms. Sakai, and Mr. YJ Kim accrued statutory severance in 2013.

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC 2009 Common Unit Plan
Following our emergence from our reorganization proceedings, in December 2009, our Board adopted, and our equityholders approved, the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC 2009 Common Unit Plan, which we refer to as the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provided for the grant of nonstatutory options, restricted unit bonus and purchase right awards, and deferred unit awards to employees and consultants of our Company and our subsidiaries and to members of our Board. However, only options and restricted unit bonus awards were granted under the 2009 Plan. Subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in capital structure, the maximum aggregate number of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC common units available for grant under the 2009 Plan was 30,000,000. Units subject to awards that expired, were forfeited or otherwise terminated would have been available again for grant under the 2009 Plan.
In connection with our corporate conversion, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation assumed the rights and obligations of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC under the 2009 Plan and converted MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC common unit options and restricted common units outstanding under the 2009 Plan into options to acquire a number of shares of our common stock and shares of restricted common stock at a ratio of eight-for-one on substantially equivalent terms and conditions. As of December 31, 2013, there were outstanding under the 2009 Plan options to purchase 1,230,103 shares of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $6.12 per share. The 2009 Plan terminated immediately following our corporate conversion, and no additional options or other equity awards may be granted under the 2009 Plan. However, options granted under the 2009 Plan prior to its termination will remain outstanding until they are either exercised or expire.
The 2009 Plan is administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the 2009 Plan, the Committee determined in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards were granted, the sizes of such awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards were evidenced by a written agreement between us and the holder of the award. The Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2009 Plan and awards granted under it.
In the event of a change in control of our Company, the vesting of all outstanding awards held by participants whose employment has not previously terminated will accelerate in full. In addition, the Committee has the authority to require that outstanding awards be assumed or replaced with substantially equivalent awards by a successor corporation or to cancel the outstanding awards in exchange for a payment in cash or other property equal to the fair market value of restricted units or the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the units subject to an option over the exercise price per unit of such option.
2011 Equity Incentive Plan
Our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2011 Plan, was approved by our Board and our stockholders in March 2010. We amended and restated the 2011 Plan in February 2011, and our stockholders approved the amendment in March 2011 to reflect that it became effective in 2011 upon our corporate conversion. 891,703 shares of our common stock, or the total number of shares of common stock (as adjusted by the conversion ratio in the corporate conversion) that remained available for grant upon the termination of the 2009 Plan immediately following the corporate conversion, were initially authorized and reserved.
As of December 31, 2013, there were outstanding under the 2011 Plan options to purchase 1,714,542 shares of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $10.77 per share. As of December 31, 2013, 552,549 shares of our common stock remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. This reserve automatically increased on January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015 by an additional 680,967 and 681,129 shares, respectively, and will automatically increase each subsequent anniversary through 2021, by an amount equal to the smaller of 2% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or an amount determined by our Board. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan will also be increased from time to time by up to that number of shares of common stock remaining subject to options and restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2009 Plan at the time of its termination immediately following the corporate conversion that expire or terminate or are forfeited for any reason after the effective date of the 2011 Plan, subject to a cap of 1,412,352 shares. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the 2011 Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to awards granted under our 2011 Plan which expire, are repurchased, or are cancelled or forfeited will again become available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. The shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash. Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations will not again become available for grant. The gross number of shares issued upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net exercise or by tender of previously owned shares will be deducted from the shares available under the 2011 Plan.
Awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan to our employees, including officers, directors, or consultants or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. While we may grant incentive stock options only to employees, we may grant nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock purchase rights or bonuses, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and cash-based awards or other stock-based awards to any eligible participant.
139
The 2011 Plan is administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the 2011 Plan, the Committee determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the sizes of such awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards are evidenced by a written agreement between us and the holder of the award. The Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2011 Plan and awards granted under it.
In the event of a change in control as described in the 2011 Plan, the acquiring or successor entity may assume or continue all or any awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan or substitute substantially equivalent awards. Any awards which are not assumed or continued in connection with a change in control or are not exercised or settled prior to the change in control will terminate effective as of the time of the change in control. The Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and to such extent as it determines, except that the vesting of all awards held by members of our Board who are not employees will automatically be accelerated in full. The 2011 Plan also authorizes the Committee, in its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any outstanding award denominated in shares upon a change in control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect to each share subject to the cancelled award of an amount equal to the excess of the consideration to be paid per share of common stock in the change in control transaction over the exercise price per share, if any, under the award.
2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the Purchase Plan, was approved by our Board in March 2010. Our Board amended and restated the Purchase Plan in February 2011 to reflect that the Purchase Plan would become effective in 2011 upon the commencement of the MagnaChip IPO. The Purchase Plan was approved by our stockholders in March 2011 and became effective upon the commencement of the MagnaChip IPO. We initially authorized and reserved 789,890 shares for sale under the Purchase Plan. In August, 2012, the Committee suspended the Purchase Plan.
As of December 31, 2013, 1,163,880 shares of our common stock remained reserved for sale under the Purchase Plan. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the plan on January 1 of each year beginning in 2012 and continuing through and including January 1, 2021 equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 789,980 shares, or (iii) a number of shares as our Board may determine. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding purchase rights to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to purchase rights which expire or are canceled will again become available for issuance under the Purchase Plan. Because the Purchase Plan was suspended in August 2012, no annual increase in the number of shares authorized under such plan occurred on January 1, 2013, on January 1, 2014 or January 1, 2015.
Our employees and employees of any parent or subsidiary corporation designated by the Committee are eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan if they are customarily employed by us for more than 20 hours per week and more than five months in any calendar year. However, an employee may not be granted a right to purchase stock under the Purchase Plan if: (i) the employee immediately after such grant would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our capital stock or of any parent or subsidiary corporation, or (ii) the employees rights to purchase stock under all of our employee stock purchase plans would accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 in value for each calendar year of participation in such plans.
The Purchase Plan is implemented through a series of sequential offering periods, generally three months in duration beginning on the first trading days of February, May, August, and November each year. The Committee is authorized to establish additional or alternative concurrent, sequential or overlapping offering periods and offering periods having a different duration or different starting or ending dates, provided that no offering period may have a duration exceeding 27 months.
Amounts accumulated for each participant, generally through payroll deductions, are credited toward the purchase of shares of our common stock at the end of each offering period at a price generally equal to 95% of the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date. Prior to commencement of an offering period, the Committee is authorized to change the purchase price discount for that offering period, but the purchase price may not be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock at the beginning of the offering period or on the purchase date.
No participant may purchase under the Purchase Plan in any calendar year shares having a value of more than $25,000 measured by the fair market value per share of our common stock on the first day of the applicable offering period. Prior to the beginning of any offering period, the Committee may alter the maximum number of shares that may be purchased by any participant during the offering period or specify a maximum aggregate number of shares that may be purchased by all participants in the offering period. If insufficient shares remain available under the plan to permit all participants to purchase the number of shares to which they would otherwise be entitled, the Committee will make a pro rata allocation of the available shares. Any amounts withheld from participants compensation in excess of the amounts used to purchase shares will be refunded, without interest.

In the event of a change in control, an acquiring or successor corporation may assume our rights and obligations under the Purchase Plan. If the acquiring or successor corporation does not assume such rights and obligations, then the purchase date of the offering periods then in progress will be accelerated to a date prior to the change in control as specified by the Committee, but the number of shares subject to outstanding purchase rights shall not be adjusted.
Agreements with Executives and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
We are obligated to make certain payments to our named executive officers upon termination or a change in control as further described below.
Sang Park. We are party to an Amended and Restated Services Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2008 (the Services Agreement), with Mr. Park pursuant to which he served as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On May 19, 2014, Mr. Park resigned as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and we entered into an employment separation agreement (the Separation Agreement) in connection with his resignation, as described in more detail below. The Separation Agreement partially supersedes the Services Agreement. Under the Services Agreement, Mr. Park was to receive an initial base salary of $450,000 and a one-time performance bonus payment of $900,000. Mr. Park was also entitled to an annual incentive award of 100% of his annual salary based upon the achievement of performance goals, provided that the actual bonus paid may be higher or lower dependent on over- or under-achievement of his performance goals, as determined by the Committee. Mr. Park was entitled to customary employee benefits and certain expatriate, repatriation and international service benefits, including relocation benefits, tax equalization benefits, the cost of housing accommodations and expenses, transportation benefits and repatriation benefits. Pursuant to the Services Agreement Mr. Park was granted options to purchase restricted common units but they were subsequently terminated in connection with our reorganization proceedings. The Services Agreement also contains customary non-competition and non-solicitation covenants lasting two and three years, respectively, from the date of termination of employment and confidentiality covenants of unlimited duration.
The Services Agreement provides that if Mr. Parks employment were terminated without Cause or if he resigned for good reason, Mr. Park would be entitled to receive (i) payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination, (ii) payment of his then-current base salary for twelve months, (iii) the annual incentive award to which Mr. Park would have been entitled for the year in which his employment terminates, (iv) twelve months accelerated vesting on outstanding equity awards and a twelve-month post-termination equity award exercise period, and (v) continued participation for Mr. Park and his eligible dependents in our benefit plans for twelve months, including certain international service benefits.
If such termination occurs within nine months of a change in control, Mr. Park would be entitled to receive (i) payment of all salary and benefits accrued and unpaid up to the date of termination, (ii) payment of his then-current base salary for twenty-four months, (iii) the annual incentive award to which Mr. Park would have been entitled for the year in which his employment terminates, (iv) two years accelerated vesting on outstanding equity awards, other than awards granted pursuant to the 2009 Plan, which accelerate in full, (v) a twelve-month post-termination equity award exercise period, and (vi) continued participation for Mr. Park and his eligible dependents in our benefit plans for two years, including certain international service benefits.
The severance described above payable to Mr. Park upon his termination without Cause or in connection with a change in control shall be reduced to the extent that we pay any statutory severance payments to Mr. Park pursuant to the Korean Commercial Code or any other statute. As used in the Services Agreement, the term Cause means the termination of Mr. Parks employment because of (i) a failure by Mr. Park to substantially perform his customary duties (other than such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii) Mr. Parks gross negligence, intentional misconduct or material fraud in the performance of Mr. Parks employment; (iii) Mr. Parks conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or to a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; (iv) a judicial determination that Mr. Park committed fraud or dishonesty against any natural person, firm, partnership, limited liability company, association, corporation, company, trust, business trust, governmental authority or other entity; or (v) Mr. Parks material violation of the agreement or of one or more of the material policies applicable to his employment. Resignation for good reason means a resignation upon any of the following events that remains uncured for 30 days after Mr. Park delivers a demand to us: (i) a salary reduction other than a reduction of less than 10% applied to our other officers, (ii) material reduction in benefits, (iii) failure to provide housing, (iv) nature or status of Mr. Parks authorities, duties or responsibilities are materially and adversely altered, (v) removal from our Board without cause, or (vi) Mr. Park is not reappointed as Chief Executive Officer following our initial public offering.
In the event we terminate Mr. Parks employment due to Disability, Mr. Park would be entitled to (i) payment of his salary and accrued vacation up to and including the date of termination, (ii) payment of any unpaid expense reimbursements, (iii) the prorated amount of any cash incentive to which Mr. Park would have been entitled, and (iv) other benefits due to Mr. Park through his termination date. As used in the Services Agreement, the term Disability means that the we determine that due to physical or mental illness or incapacity, whether total or partial, Mr. Park is substantially unable to perform his duties for a period of 180 consecutive days or shorter periods aggregating 180 days during any period of 365 consecutive days.
141
In the event of Mr. Parks death while employed by us, Mr. Parks estate or named beneficiary would be entitled to (i) payment of Mr. Parks salary and accrued vacation up to and including the date of termination, (ii) payment of any unpaid expense reimbursements, (iii) the prorated amount of any cash incentive to which Mr. Park would have been entitled, and (iv) other benefits due to Mr. Park through his termination date.
On May 19, 2014, Mr. Park resigned his positions as our Chairman of the Board, Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and from all other officer and director positions with the Company and its subsidiaries, effective as of May 20, 2014. Effective July 31, 2014, MagnaChip Korea entered into the Separation Agreement with Mr. Park. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Park resigned his employment with MagnaChip Korea and all affiliates as of July 31, 2014, and Mr. Park will be entitled to receive: (i) severance payments equal to twelve months of his current base salary (an aggregate of $647,220), payable in equal monthly installments, (ii) continuation of housing support and health benefits for twelve months, (iii) accrued tax equalization benefits for amounts earned up to and including the effective date of the separation agreement under the terms of Mr. Parks Services Agreement with MagnaChip Korea (excluding all amounts paid or payable under the separation agreement), and (iv) acceleration of outstanding and unvested employee stock options held by Mr. Park at the effective date of the separation agreement, with all stock options then held by Mr. Park to be exercisable up to twelve months following the effective date of the separation agreement. The separation agreement also contains an obligation by Mr. Park to cooperate with the Company at the request of the Board and its Audit Committee in connection with the management transition, internal review and restatement of its financial statements and as otherwise may be requested by the Company, and provides for hourly consulting payments to Mr. Park for such cooperation services at his then-current hourly rate based on his base salary at the Company as of the effective date of the separation agreement or a subsequent employer during the term of the separation agreement, subject to an aggregate maximum amount. The Separation Agreement also contains a release of Korean law claims by Mr. Park and a confidentiality agreement.

In addition, the Committee has the authority to require that outstanding equity awards be assumed or replaced with substantially equivalent awards by the successor corporation or to cancel the outstanding awards in exchange for a payment in cash or other property equal to the fair market value of restricted units or the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the units subject to an option over the exercise price per unit of such option. For purposes of the foregoing, a change in control is generally defined as the acquisition by a person or entity of more than 51% of the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets to a person or entity that is not our affiliate.

The 2009 Plan provided for the grant of nonstatutory options, restricted unit bonus and purchase right awards, and deferred unit awards to employees and consultants of our Company and our subsidiaries and to members of our Board. However, only options and restricted unit bonus awards were granted under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan terminated immediately following our corporate conversion, and no additional options or other equity awards may be granted under the 2009 Plan. However, options granted under the 2009 Plan prior to its termination will remain outstanding until they are either exercised or expire. As of December 31, 2013, there were outstanding under the 2009 Plan options to purchase 1,230,103 shares of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $6.12 per share.
The 2011 Plan was approved by our Board and our stockholders in March 2010. We amended and restated the 2011 Plan in February 2011, and our stockholders approved the amendment in March 2011 to reflect that it became effective in 2011 upon our corporate conversion. 891,703 shares of our common stock, or the total number of shares of common stock (as adjusted by the conversion ratio in the corporate conversion) that remained available for grant upon the termination of the 2009 Plan immediately following the corporate conversion, were initially authorized and reserved.
As of December 31, 2013, there were outstanding under the 2011 Plan options to purchase 1,714,542 shares of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $10.77 per share. As of December 31, 2013, 552,549 shares of our common stock remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. This reserve automatically increased on January 1, 2014 by 680,967 shares and automatically increased on January 1, 2015 by 681,129 shares and will automatically increase each subsequent anniversary through 2021, by an amount equal to the smaller of 2% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or an amount determined by our Board. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan will also be increased from time to time by up to that number of shares of common stock remaining subject to options and restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2009 Plan at the time of its termination immediately following the corporate conversion that expire or terminate or are forfeited for any reason after the effective date of the 2011 Plan, subject to a cap of 1,412,352 shares. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the 2011 Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to awards granted under our 2011 Plan which expire, are repurchased, or are cancelled or forfeited will again become available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. The shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash. Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations will not again become available for grant. The gross number of shares issued upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net exercise or by tender of previously owned shares will be deducted from the shares available under the 2011 Plan.

The Purchase Plan was approved by our Board in March 2010. Our Board amended and restated the Purchase Plan in February 2011 to reflect that the Purchase Plan would become effective in 2011 upon the commencement of the MagnaChip IPO. The Purchase Plan was approved by our stockholders in March 2011 and became effective upon the commencement of the MagnaChip IPO. We initially authorized and reserved 789,890 shares for sale under the Purchase Plan. In August, 2012, the Committee suspended the Purchase Plan.
As of December 31, 2013, 1,163,880 shares of our common stock remained reserved for sale under the Purchase Plan. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the plan on January 1 of each year beginning in 2012 and continuing through and including January 1, 2021 equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 789,980 shares, or (iii) a number of shares as our Board may determine. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding purchase rights to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to purchase rights which expire or are canceled will again become available for issuance under the Purchase Plan. Because the Purchase Plan was suspended in August 2012, no annual increase in the number of shares authorized under such plan occurred on January 1, 2013, on January 1, 2014 or on January 1, 2015.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, all conflicts of interest and related party transactions involving our directors or executive officers must be reviewed and approved in writing by our full Board. In the approval process, the approving authority will review all aspects of the conflict of interest or related party transaction, including but not limited to: (i) compliance with laws, rules and regulations, (ii) the adverse effect on our business and results of operations, (iii) the adverse effect on our relationships with third parties such as customers, vendors and potential investors, (iv) the benefit to the director, officer or employee at issue, and (v) the creation of morale problems among other employees. Our Board will only approve those related party transactions that, in light of known circumstances, are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests.
Registration Rights Agreement
On November 9, 2009, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the holders of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLCs common units issued in our reorganization proceedings, including Avenue, where we granted them registration rights with respect to our common stock. In 2012 and 2013, the Company paid fees and expenses of $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in connection with the registration and sale of shares of our common stock by Avenue pursuant to such registration rights agreement. Affiliates of Avenue currently have two employees, Messrs. Klein and Mulhern, serving as members of our Board. Mr. Elkins, also a current member of our Board, was previously employed by affiliates of Avenue until December 31, 2012, and currently serves as a consultant to affiliates of Avenue.
Director Independence
The Board reviews the independence of each director annually. In determining the independence of our directors, our Board considered Section 303A of the NYSE listing standards and broadly considered the materiality of each directors relationship with us. Based upon the foregoing criteria, in December 2014, our Board determined that the following directors are independent: Mr. R. Douglas Norby, Mr. Michael Elkins, Dr. Ilbok Lee and Mr. Nader Tavakoli. In making such determination of independence for Mr. Elkins under the applicable NYSE independence standards for his service on the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Board specifically considered Mr. Elkins previous employment and current consulting arrangement with Avenue.

Prior to receiving the Option, you must execute an option agreement in the form as approved by the Board.
You will be eligible to participate in MagnaChips employee benefits programs for which you qualify and as are applicable to other MagnaChip employees of your level based in Korea. In addition to that, you shall be entitled to the following expatriate provisions:

The Company shall provide for tax equalization (taking into account only U.S. federal taxes) and tax consulting/preparation services for you for the period up to and including the date of termination of your employment (regardless of whether you are still employed by the Company at the time of any payment pursuant to this offer letter). You shall minimize taxes as permitted by applicable law.

Management believes this is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor.
