MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Business
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor platform solutions for communications, Internet of Things (“IoT”) applications, consumer, industrial and automotive applications. The Company provides technology platforms for analog, mixed signal, power, high voltage,
non-volatile
memory and Radio Frequency (“RF”) applications.
On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive Business Transfer Agreement (the “BTA”) for the sale of its Foundry Services Group business and its fabrication facility located in Cheongju (“Fab 4”), the larger of the Company’s two
8-inch
manufacturing facilities, to Magnus Semiconductor, LLC, a Korean limited liability company, or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Buyer”) for a purchase price equal to the KRW equivalent of $344.7 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments set forth in the BTA. The Buyer is a special purpose company formed by Alchemist Capital Partners Korea Co., Ltd. and Credian Partners, Inc. This planned divestiture of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 will allow the Company to strategically shift its operational focus to its standard products business. The Foundry Services Group was historically a reportable segment. As a result of the entry into the BTA, the results of the Foundry Services Group were classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Accordingly, commencing with the first quarter of 2020, the Company has one reportable segment: its standard products business, together with transitional foundry services associated with its fabrication facility located in Gumi, Korea, known as “Fab 3,” that it expects to perform for the Buyer for a period of up to three years (the “Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services”). The Company’s standard products business includes its Display Solutions and Power Solutions business lines. The Company’s Display Solutions products provide panel display solutions to major suppliers of large and small rigid and flexible panel displays, and mobile, automotive applications and home appliances. The Company’s Power Solutions products include discrete and integrated circuit solutions for power management in communications, consumer and industrial applications.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These interim consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and the elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. These interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 270, “Interim Reporting” and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by US GAAP for complete financial statements, except for the changes below. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year or for any other periods.
The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation for discontinued operations to reflect the anticipated divestiture of its Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4. The assets to be acquired and liabilities to be transferred to the Buyer, as specified in the BTA, have been classified as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, subject to adjustments set forth in the BTA. See Note 2 “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” for additional information. The consolidated statements of cash flows have not been adjusted to separately disclose cash flows related to discontinued operations, but the material items in the operating and investing activities of cash flows relating to discontinued operations are disclosed in Note 2. Unless otherwise stated, information in these notes to consolidated financial statements relates to the Company’s continuing operations and excludes the discontinued operations.
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, except for those related to discontinued operations and assets held for sale as described below, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
The Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results when the business is sold and classified as held for sale, in accordance with the criteria of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements” (“ASC 205”) and ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). Assets and liabilities of a business classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell
,
and depreciation
 and amortization
 
ceases on the date that the held for sale criteria are met. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less costs to sell, a loss is recognized. Assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations classified as held for sale are segregated in the current and prior balance sheets in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale. The results of discontinued operations are reported in “Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the current and prior periods commencing in the period in which the business meets the criteria.

3. Sales of Accounts Receivable and Receivable Discount Program
The Company has entered into an agreement to sell selected trade accounts receivable to a financial institution from time to time since March 2012. After the sale, the Company does not retain any interest in the receivables and the applicable financial institution collects these accounts receivable directly from the customer. There was no sale of these accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the proceeds from the sales of these accounts receivable totaled $13,637 thousand and these sales resulted in
pre-tax
losses of $42 thousand, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Net proceeds of this accounts receivable sale program are recognized in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of operating cash flows.
The Company uses receivable discount programs with certain customers. These discount arrangements allow the Company to accelerate collection of customers’ receivables.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, gains or losses on the derivative aside from components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative, representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in current earnings.

5.0% Exchangeable Senior Notes
On January 17, 2017, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. closed the Exchangeable Notes Offering of $86,250 thousand aggregate principal amount of 5.0% Exchangeable Notes. Interest on the Exchangeable Notes accrues at a rate of 5.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2017. The Exchangeable Notes will mature on March 1, 2021, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Holders may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date.
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance to repurchase 1,795,444 shares of common stock under its stock repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $11,401 thousand.
Upon conversion, the Company will deliver for each $1,000 principal amount of converted notes a number of shares equally to the exchange rate, which will initially be 121.1387 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $8.26 per share of common stock. The exchange rate will be subject to adjustment in some circumstances, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Exchangeable Notes indenture (the “Exchangeable Notes Indenture”)) occurs prior to the stated maturity date, the Company will increase the exchange rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change in certain circumstances.

15. Geographic and Other Information
Historically, the Company operated in two reportable segments: Foundry Services Group and Standard Products Group. The Company’s Foundry Services Group provides specialty analog and mixed-signal foundry services mainly for fabless and Integrated Device Manufacturer (“IDM”) semiconductor companies that primarily serve communications, IoT, consumer, industrial and automotive applications. The Company’s Standard Products Group is comprised of two business lines: Display Solutions and Power Solutions. The Company’s Display Solutions products provide panel display solutions to major suppliers of large and small rigid and flexible panel displays, and mobile, automotive applications and home appliances. The Company’s Power Solutions products include discrete and integrated circuit solutions for power management in communications, consumer and industrial applications.
On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into the BTA to sell its Foundry business and Fab 4. The planned divestiture of its Foundry business and Fab 4 allows the Company to strategically shift its operational focus to its standard products business. As a result, the results of the Foundry Services Group were classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and thus excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Please see “Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” for additional information on the results of discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company now has one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who allocates resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities based on gross profit.

18. Commitments and Contingencies
Long-term Purchase Agreements and Advances to Suppliers
The Company purchases raw materials from a variety of vendors. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help assure adequacy supply, the Company from time to time may enter into multi-year purchase agreements, which specify future quantities and pricing of materials to be supplied by the vendors. The Company reviews the terms of the long-term supply agreements and assesses the need for any accrual for estimated losses, such as lower of cost or net realizable value that will not be recovered by future sales prices. No such accrual was required as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
 
26

 
The Company, from time to time, may make advances in form of prepayments or deposits to suppliers to procure materials to meet its planned production. The Company recorded advances of $5,419 thousand and $6,593 thousand as other current assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
COVID-19
Pandemic
In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus causing a disease known as
COVID-19
surfaced in Wuhan, China, resulting in significant disruptions among Chinese manufacturing and other facilities and travel throughout China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the
COVID-19
outbreak a pandemic, which continues to spread rapidly in the U.S. and other countries throughout the world. Governmental authorities throughout the world have implemented numerous containment measures, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines,
shelter-in-place
orders, and business restrictions and shutdowns, resulting in rapidly changing market and economic conditions.
While the Company experienced some minor disruption in its Power Solutions business from assembly and test subcontractors located in China in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of
COVID-19,
to date its external Display Solutions business contractors and
sub-contractors
have not been materially impacted by the outbreak. Nevertheless, while the future impact on the Company’s business from the
COVID-19
pandemic is currently difficult to assess, the significant global macro-economic disruption will adversely affect customer demand for some of its products in the near term. The Company is, however, unable to accurately predict the full impact
COVID-19
will have on its future results of operations due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, a potential future recurrence of the outbreak, further containment actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact to the businesses of its customers and suppliers, and other factors.
The Company continues to closely monitor and evaluate the nature and scope of the impact on
COVID-19
to its business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition, and may take further actions altering its business operations and managing its costs and liquidity that the Company deems necessary or appropriate to respond to this fast moving and uncertain global health crisis and the resulting global economic consequences.
19. Subsequent Events
Derivative contracts
In July 2020, the Company and NFIK entered into derivative contracts of zero cost collars for the period from January 2021 to June 2021. The total notional amounts are $30,000 thousand.
A power outage
On July 20, 2020, the Company’s Fab 3 facility in Gumi, South Korea experienced a temporary power outage for approximately 9 hours and 15 minutes. The accident caused certain damage to the Company’s work in process wafers with an estimated total cost of up to approximately $2.3 million. Management is currently evaluating potential insurance and other claims that the Company may have for the above loss and damages.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation for discontinued operations to reflect the divestiture of our Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4. Unless otherwise stated, information in this section relates to our continuing operations. The consolidated statements of cash flows have not been adjusted to separately disclose cash flows related to discontinued operations.
Overview
We are a designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor platform solutions for communications, IoT applications, consumer, industrial and automotive applications. We provide technology platforms for analog, mixed-signal, power, high voltage,
non-volatile
memory, and radio frequency applications. We have a proven record with more than 40 years of operating history, a portfolio of approximately 2,950 registered patents and pending applications and extensive engineering and manufacturing process expertise.
On March 30, 2020, we entered into the BTA for the sale of our Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4. The planned divestiture of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 will allow us to strategically shift our operational focus to our standard products business. As a result, the results of the Foundry Services Group were classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Accordingly, commencing in the first quarter of 2020, we have one reportable segment: our standard products business, together with transitional foundry services associated with our fabrication facility located in Gumi, Korea, known as Fab 3, that we expect to perform for the Buyer for up to three years (the “Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services”). The Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services revenue is accounted for at cost prior to the closing of the sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4.
Our standard products business includes our Display Solutions and Power Solutions business lines.
Our Display Solutions products provide display solutions to major panel display suppliers of large and mobile rigid and flexible displays for home appliances, mobile communications, monitors, notebooks and automotive applications. Our Display Solutions products include source, gate drivers, timing controllers, and
one-chip
integrated solutions for LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and OLED panel displays used in televisions, public displays, monitors, notebooks, mobile communications and automotive applications. Our Display Solutions products support the industry’s most advanced display technologies, such as OLEDs, and low temperature polysilicon (LTPS), as well as high-volume display technologies such as thin film transistors (TFT). Since 2007, we have designed and manufactured OLED display driver IC products. Our current portfolio of OLED solutions address a wide range of resolutions ranging from HD to Wide Quad High Definition (WQHD) for applications including smartphones, TVs, and other mobile devices. We believe we have a unique intellectual property portfolio and mixed-signal design and manufacturing expertise in the OLED industry.
Our Power Solutions business line produces power management semiconductor products including discrete and integrated circuit solutions for power management in consumer, communications, computing, industrial and automotive applications. These products include metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs),
AC-DC
converters,
DC-DC
converters, LED drivers, switching regulators, linear regulators, interface ICs and power management ICs (PMICs) for a range of devices, including televisions, smartphones, desktop PCs, notebooks, tablets, servers, telecommunication power, home appliances, industrial applications such as unit power suppliers, LED lighting, personal mobility, motor drives, battery management systems (BMS) and automotive electronics.
Our wide variety of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products combined with our mature technology platform allow us to address multiple high-growth end markets and 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 electronics device 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 electronics devices 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 also invest in relevant research and development activities 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 by overall demand for communications, IoT, consumer, industrial and automotive products and can be adversely affected by periods of weak consumer and enterprise spending or by market share losses by our customers. In order to mitigate the impact of market volatility on our business, we are diversifying our portfolio of products, customers, and target applications. We also expect that new competitors will emerge in these markets that may place increased pressure on the 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 worldwide customer base, if we are not effective in competing in these markets, our operating results may be adversely affected.
Net sales for our standard products business are driven by design wins in which we are selected by an electronics original equipment manufacturer (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 we have design wins and the products enter into mass production, 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.
In contrast to completely fabless semiconductor companies, our internal manufacturing capacity provides us with greater control over manufacturing costs and the ability to implement process and production improvements for our internally manufactured products, 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 on these products. 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 standard products business requires 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. Many of 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 do not require substantial investment in leading edge process equipment for those products, allowing us to utilize our facilities and equipment over an extended period of time with moderate required capital investments. In addition, we 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. In addition, we outsource manufacturing of those products which do require advanced technology and
12-inch
wafer capacity, such as organic light emitting diodes (OLED). We believe this balanced capital investment strategy enables us to optimize our capital investments and facilitates more diversified product and service offerings.
Since 2007, we have designed and manufactured OLED display driver ICs in our internal manufacturing facilities. As we expanded our design capabilities to products that require lower geometries unavailable at our existing manufacturing facilities, we began outsourcing manufacturing of certain OLED display driver ICs to an external
12-inch
foundry starting in the second half of 2015. This additional source of manufacturing is an increasingly important part of our supply chain management. By outsourcing manufacturing of advanced OLED products to external
12-inch
foundries, we are able to dynamically adapt to the changing customer requirements and address growing markets without substantial capital investments by us. Both at the internal
8-inch
manufacturing facilities and external
12-inch
foundries, we apply our unique OLED process patents as well as other intellectual property, proprietary process design kits and custom design-flow methodologies.
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 awareness of new product opportunities, market and technology trends and improve our ability to adapt and grow successfully.

8-K
filed on March 31, 2020 and the BTA filed as Exhibit 10.1 thereto.
COVID-19
Pandemic
In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus causing a disease known as

While we experienced some minor disruption in our Power Solutions business from assembly and test subcontractors located in China in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of
COVID-19,
to date our external Display Solutions business contractors and
sub-contractors
have not been materially impacted by the outbreak. Nevertheless, while the future impact on our business from the
COVID-19
pandemic is currently difficult to assess, the significant global macro-economic disruption will adversely affect customer demand for some of our products in the near term. We are, however, unable to accurately predict the full impact

will have on our future results of operations due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, a potential future recurrence of the outbreak, further containment actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact to the businesses of our customers and suppliers, and other factors.
We continue to closely monitor and evaluate the nature and scope of the impact on
COVID-19
to our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition, and may take further actions altering our business operations and managing our costs and liquidity that we deem necessary or appropriate to respond to this fast moving and uncertain global health crisis and the resulting global economic consequences.
Repurchase of Long-Term Borrowings
In January and February 2019, we repurchased a principal amount of $0.3 million and $0.9 million of the 2021 Notes and the Exchangeable Notes, respectively. As a result, we recorded a $0.04 million net loss as early extinguishment loss on our consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Explanation and Reconciliation of
Non-US GAAP
Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
We use the terms Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis) in our report. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is a
non-US GAAP
measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated as EBITDA (as defined below), adjusted to exclude (i) equity-based compensation expense, (ii) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iii) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) loss on early extinguishment of long-term borrowings, net and (v) others. EBITDA for the periods indicated is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization.
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:
 
   
we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, by eliminating the impact of a number of items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core ongoing operating performance, provides a more comparable measure of our operating performance from
period-to-period
and may be a better indicator of future performance;
 
   
we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is commonly requested and used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the Company as an enterprise level performance measure that eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, as well as other one time or recurring items described above; and
 
   
we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, among other reasons, to assess the Company’s
period-to-period
core operating performance and to understand and assess the manner in which management analyzes operating performance.
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 of Directors concerning our consolidated financial performance; and
 
   
in certain of our compensation plans as a performance measure for determining incentive compensation payments.
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, as determined in accordance with US GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is as follows:

(a)
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, these expenses do not generally require cash settlement, and, therefore, are not used by us to assess the profitability of our operations. 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.
(b)
This adjustment mainly eliminates the impact of
non-cash
foreign currency translation associated with intercompany debt obligations with respect to the continuing operations 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, which we cannot control. Additionally, we believe the isolation of this adjustment provides investors with enhanced comparability to prior and future periods of our operating performance results.
(c)
This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents 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 US 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.
(d)
This adjustment eliminates $0.04 million in expenses related to the repurchase of a portion of the 2021 Notes and the Exchangeable Notes in the first quarter of 2019.
(e)
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, this adjustment eliminates
non-recurring
professional service fees and expenses incurred in connection with certain treasury and finance initiatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, this adjustment eliminates a $0.5 million legal settlement charge related to dispute with a prior customer and a legal expense related to the indemnification of a former employee, which is borne by us under a negotiated separation agreement. We do not believe that these charges are indicative of our core operating performance and have been excluded for comparative purposes.
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 US 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;
 
   
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 need 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 Operating Income as supplemental measures of our performance. We prepare Adjusted Operating Income by adjusting operating income to eliminate the impact of equity-based compensation 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 Operating Income is useful to investors to provide a supplemental way to understand our underlying operating performance and allows investors to monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.
Adjusted Operating Income is not a measure defined in accordance with US GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or net income, 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 Operating Income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted Operating Income, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. We define Adjusted Operating Income for the periods indicated as operating income adjusted to exclude (i) Equity-based compensation expense and (ii) Others.
The following table summarizes the adjustments to operating income that we make in order to calculate Adjusted Operating Income from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

(a)
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, these expenses do not generally require cash settlement, and, therefore, are not used by us to assess the profitability of our operations. 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.
(b)
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, this adjustment eliminates
non-recurring
professional service fees and expenses incurred in connection with certain treasury and finance initiatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, this adjustment eliminates a $0.5 million legal settlement charge related to dispute with a prior customer and a legal expense related to the indemnification of a former employee, which is borne by us under a negotiated separation agreement. We do not believe that these charges are indicative of our core operating performance and have been excluded for comparative purposes.

We present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis) as a further supplemental measure of our performance. We prepare Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis) 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 (Loss) (including on a per share basis); is particularly useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance. We present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis) for a number of reasons, including:
 
   
we use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis) in communications with our Board of Directors concerning our consolidated financial performance without the impact of
non-cash
expenses and the other items as we discussed below since we believe that it is a more consistent measure of our core operating results from period to period; and
 
   
we believe that reporting Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis) is useful to readers in evaluating our core operating results because it eliminates the effects of
non-cash
expenses as well as the other items we discuss below, such as foreign currency gains and losses, which are out of our control and can vary significantly from period to period.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis) 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, 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 (Loss) (including on a per share basis) differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis), you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (including on a per share basis); for the periods indicated as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) equity-based compensation expense, (ii) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (iii) derivative valuation loss (gain), net, (iv) loss on early extinguishment of long-term borrowings, net and (v) others.

(b)
This adjustment mainly eliminates the impact of
non-cash
foreign currency translation associated with intercompany debt obligations with respect to the continuing operations 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, which we cannot control. Additionally, we believe the isolation of this adjustment provides investors with enhanced comparability to prior and future periods of our operating performance results.
(c)
This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents 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 US 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.
(d)
This adjustment eliminates $0.04 million in expenses related to the repurchase of a portion of the 2021 Notes and the Exchangeable Notes in the first quarter of 2019.
(e)
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, this adjustment eliminates
non-recurring
professional service fees and expenses incurred in connection with certain treasury and finance initiatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, this adjustment eliminates a $0.5 million legal settlement charge related to dispute with a prior customer and a legal expense related to the indemnification of a former employee, which is borne by us under a negotiated separation agreement. We do not believe that these charges are indicative of our core operating performance and have been excluded for comparative purposes.
There was no tax impact from the adjustments to net income (loss) to calculate our Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 due to net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset taxable income and full allowance for deferred tax assets. We believe that all adjustments to net income (loss) from continuing operations used to calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations were applied consistently to the periods presented.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 (Loss) does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
 
   
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing equity-based compensation to our management team and employees;
 
   
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 (Loss) differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) should not be considered as a measure of profitability of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our US GAAP results and using Adjusted Net Income (Loss) only supplementally.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Net
Sales.
We derive substantially all of our sales (net of sales returns and allowances) from our standard products business. We outsource manufacturing of advanced OLED products to external
12-inch
foundries. 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 is in the United States, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.
We recognize revenue when risk and reward of ownership pass to the customer either upon shipment, upon product delivery at the customer’s location or upon customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the arrangement. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we sold products to 158 and 154 customers, respectively, and our net sales to our ten largest customers represented 89% of our net sales — standard products business, in each period.
We will provide the Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services for a period up to three years after the sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4. For the periods prior to the sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 (which is accounted for as a discontinued operation beginning in the first quarter of 2020), revenue derived from the Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services is recorded at cost in both our continuing and discontinued operations.
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 facility 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 material costs consist of costs of raw materials, such as silicon wafers, chemicals, gases and tape and packaging supplies. 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 increase significantly.
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 June 30, 2020, 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.
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.
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.

Table of Contents
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 of our display business are material and design-related costs for OLED display driver IC product development involving
40-nanometer
or finer processes. The majority of research and development expenses of our power business are certain equipment, material and design-related costs for power discrete products and material and design-related costs for power IC products. Power IC uses standard BCD process technologies which can be sourced from multiple foundries, including Fab 4.
Interest Expense.
Our interest expense was incurred primarily under our 2021 Notes and our Exchangeable 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-US
currencies, principally the Korean won, and we expect that this will remain true in the future. Because we report our results of operations in US dollars converted from our
non-US
revenues and expenses based on monthly average exchange rates, changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the US 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 US dollars relative to Korean won, depreciation in the US 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 US dollar were to appreciate relative to the Korean won. Moreover, our foreign currency gain or loss would be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the US dollar, as a substantial portion of
non-cash
translation gain or loss is associated with the intercompany long-term loans to our Korean subsidiary, which is denominated in US dollars. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding intercompany loan balance including accrued interest between our Korean subsidiary and our Dutch subsidiary was $690.7 million. As a result of such foreign currency fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of operations. In addition, to the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our results of operations to differ from our expectations or the expectations of our investors, the trading price of our stock could be adversely affected.
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 forward and zero cost collar contracts in order to mitigate a portion of the impact of US dollar-Korean won exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. Obligations under these foreign currency forward and zero cost collar contracts must be cash collateralized if our exposure exceeds certain specified thresholds. These forward and zero cost collar contracts may be terminated by a 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 unless a waiver is obtained from the counterparty. 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 foreign currency gain (loss), net in our statements of operations. 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 US dollars. This gain or loss results from fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Korean won and US 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.
We are subject to income- or
non-income-based
tax examinations by tax authorities of the US, Korea and multiple other foreign jurisdictions, where applicable, for all open tax years. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining our worldwide provision for income- or
non-income
based 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.

Table of Contents
Discontinued Operations.
On March 30, 2020, we entered into the BTA for the sale of our Foundry Services Group business and our Fab 4 to the Buyer. As a result, the results of the Foundry Services Group were classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.
Capital
Expenditures.
We primarily invest in manufacturing equipment, software design tools and other tangible assets mainly for fabrication facility maintenance, 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 mainly include our payments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.
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.

Revenues
Total revenues were $118.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a $22.1 million, or 15.7%, decrease compared to $140.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenue related to our standard products business as described below.
The standard products business.
 Net sales from our standard products business were $109.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a 23.1 million, or 17.5%, decreased compared to $132.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue related to our mobile OLED display driver ICs as a result of
COVID-19,
which negatively affected the global smartphone market during the second quarter of 2020, and a strategic reduction of our lower margin
non-auto
LCD DDIC business. The significant global macro-economic market disruption due to
COVID-19
also affected customer demand for some of our Power Solution products, resulting in a decrease in revenue from our Power Solutions business line.
The transitional Fab 3 foundry services.
Net sales from the transitional Fab 3 foundry services were $9.9 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Gross Profit
Total gross profit was $32.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $31.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a $0.5 million, or 1.6%, increase. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased to 27.0% compared to 22.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales was due to an increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales from our standard products business as further described below.
The standard products business.
 Gross profit from our standard products business was $32.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which represented a $0.5 million, or 1.6%, increase from gross profit of $31.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased to 29.5% compared to 24.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in both gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to an inventory reserve related to a legacy display product that was recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

Net sales – standard products business in Korea for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased from $36.6 million to $22.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, which represented a decrease of $14.6 million, or 39.9%, primarily due to lower demand for power products such as MOSFETs primarily for TV and smartphone applications, and a strategic reduction of our lower margin
non-auto
LCD DDIC business, which was offset in part by an increase in revenue related to our mobile OLED display driver ICs due to an increase in demand for production of new OLED smartphones by Chinese manufacturers due in part to the geographic diversification of our OLED product portfolio amid a COVID-19-related disruption.
Net sales – standard products business in Asia Pacific (other than Korea) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased to $84.2 million from $93.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, which represented a decrease of $9.4 million, or 10.1%, primarily due to a decrease in revenue from our mobile OLED display driver ICs as a result of
COVID-19,
which negatively affected the global smartphone market during the second quarter of 2020.
Operating Expenses
Selling,
General
and
Administrative
Expenses.
 Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12.4 million, or 10.4%, of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $11.1 million, or 7.9%, of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase of $1.3 million, or 11.8%, was primarily attributable to an increase in employee compensation, including issuance of equity-based compensation.
Research
and
Development
Expenses.
 Research and development expenses were $11.1 million, or 9.3%, of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $11.8 million, or 8.4%, of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease of $0.7 million, or 5.6%, was primarily attributable to the timing of development activities for our
28-nanometer
OLED display driver ICs and a decrease in outside service fees and various overhead expenses. This decrease was offset in part by an increase in employee compensation, including issuance of equity-based compensation.
Operating Income
As a result of the foregoing, operating income of $8.6 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to operating income of $8.8 million the three months ended June 30, 2019. As discussed above, the decrease in operating income of $0.1 million resulted primarily from a $1.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, which was offset in part by a $0.5 million increase in gross profit and a $0.7 million decrease in research and development expenses.

Other Income
Interest
Expense.
 Interest expenses were $5.4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
Foreign
Currency Gain (Loss),
Net.
 Net foreign currency gain for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $8.5 million compared to net foreign currency loss of $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The net foreign currency gain for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was due to the appreciation in value of the Korean won relative to the U.S. dollar during the period. The net foreign currency loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due to the depreciation in value of the Korean won relative to the U.S. dollar during the period.
A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain or loss is
non-cash
translation gain or loss associated with intercompany long-term loans to our Korean subsidiary, which are denominated in US dollars, and are affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and the US dollar. As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the outstanding intercompany loan balances including accrued interest between our Korean subsidiary and our Dutch subsidiary were $691 million and $673 million, respectively. Foreign currency translation gain or loss from intercompany balances were 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.
Others,
Net.
Others were comprised of rental income, interest income, and gains and losses from valuation of derivatives which were designated as hedging instruments. Others for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was primarily attributable to interest on intercompany loan balances. Income tax expense was recorded for our Korean subsidiary based on the estimated taxable income for the respective periods, combined with our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards up to 60%.
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, net income from continuing operations increased by $20.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. As discussed above, the increase in net income from continuing operations primarily resulted from a $20.0 million improvement in net foreign currency loss.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
On March 30, 2020, we entered into the BTA for the sale of our Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4. As a result, the results of the Foundry Services Group were classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and excluded from our continuing operations for all periods presented.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $17.4 million, compared to loss from discontinued operations, net of tax of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $18.4 million increase in net income from discontinued operations primarily resulted from an $18.7 million increase in gross profit due in part to depreciation and amortization associated with the assets classified as those held for sale having been ceased in the second quarter of 2020, a $0.9 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, a $0.5 million decrease in restructuring and other charges, a $0.3 million decrease in research and development expenses, which were offset in part by an $1.2 million decrease in foreign currency gain, net and a $0.9 million increase in income tax expense.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, net income of $29.2 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net loss of $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. As discussed above, the increase in net income of $38.7 million primarily resulted from a $20.3 million increase in net income from continuing operations and an $18.4 million increase in net income from discontinued operations.

Total revenues were $239.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an $8.9 million, or 3.6%, decrease compared to $248.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenue related to our standard products business as described below.
The standard products business.
 Net sales from our standard products business were $219.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a 12.6 million, or 5.4%, decrease compared to $232.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue from our Power Solutions business line as a result of the significant global macro-economic disruption due to
COVID-19
during the first half of 2020, and a strategic reduction of our lower margin
non-auto
LCD DDIC business. These decreases were offset in part by an increase in revenue related to our mobile OLED display driver ICs due to certain new product launches by our customers and geographically diversified product portfolios amid a COVID-19-related disruption.
The transitional Fab 3 foundry services.
Net sales from the transitional Fab 3 foundry services were $19.6 million and $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Total gross profit was $61.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $50.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a $10.6 million, or 21.0%, increase. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased to 25.6% compared to 20.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales was due to the increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales from our standard products business as further described below.
The standard products business.
 Gross profit from our standard products business was $61.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which represented a $10.6 million, or 21.0%, increase from gross profit of $50.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased to 27.9% compared to 21.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in both gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to inventory reserves related to certain legacy display products that were recorded in the first half of 2019 and an improved product mix.

Selling,
General
and
Administrative
Expenses.
 Selling, general and administrative expenses were $24.5 million, or 10.2%, of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $23.1 million, or 9.3%, of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase of $1.4 million, or 6.0%, was primarily attributable to an increase in employee compensation, including issuance of equity-based compensation, which was offset in part by a $0.5 million legal settlement charge related to dispute with a prior customer recorded in the first quarter of 2019.
Research
and
Development
Expenses.
 Research and development expenses were $21.6 million, or 9.0%, of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $23.8 million, or 9.6%, of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease of $2.2 million, or 9.2%, was primarily attributable to the timing of development activities for our
28-nanometer
OLED display driver ICs and a decrease in outside service fees and various overhead expenses. This decrease was offset in part by an increase in employee compensation, including issuance of equity-based compensation.
Other Charges.
Other charges were $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which were consisted of professional service fees and expenses incurred in connection with certain treasury and finance initiatives.
Operating Income
As a result of the foregoing, operating income of $14.6 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to operating income of $3.7 million the six months ended June 30, 2019. As discussed above, the increase in operating income of $10.9 million resulted primarily from a $10.6 million increase in gross profit and a $2.2 million decrease in research and development expenses, which were offset in part by a $1.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

As of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the outstanding intercompany loan balances including accrued interest between our Korean subsidiary and our Dutch subsidiary were $691 million and $673 million, respectively. Foreign currency translation gain or loss from intercompany balances were 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 Long-Term Borrowings, Net.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased a principal amount of $0.3 million and $0.9 million of the 2021 Notes and the Exchangeable Notes, respectively. In connection with these repurchases, we recognized a $0.04 million net loss.
Others,
Net.
Others were comprised of rental income, interest income, and gains and losses from valuation of derivatives which were designated as hedging instruments. Others for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $2.0 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was primarily attributable to interest on intercompany loan balances. Income tax expense was recorded for our Korean subsidiary based on the estimated taxable income for the respective periods, combined with our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards up to 60%.
Loss from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, net loss from continuing operations improved by $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. As discussed above, the improvement in net loss from continuing operations primarily resulted from a $10.9 million increase in operating income.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
On March 30, 2020, we entered into the BTA for the sale of our Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4. As a result, the results of the Foundry Services Group were classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and excluded from our continuing operations for all periods presented.
Net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $24.7 million compared to net loss from discontinued operations of $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $38.3 million increase in net income from discontinued operations primarily resulted from a $35.7 million increase in gross profit due in part to depreciation and amortization associated with the assets classified as those held for sale having been ceased in the second quarter of 2020, an $1.3 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, an $1.3 million decrease in restructuring and other charges, a $0.9 million decrease in research and development expenses and a $0.3 million increase in foreign currency gain, net, which were offset in part by an $1.3 million increase in income tax expense.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, net income of $5.4 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net loss of $43.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. As discussed above, the decrease in net loss of $49.1 million primarily resulted from a $38.3 million increase in net income from discontinued operations and a $10.7 million improvement in net loss from continuing operations.

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, cash flows from operations and 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 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Sales of Accounts Receivable and Receivable Discount Program” included elsewhere in this Report. In addition, from time to time, we may make payments to our vendors on extended terms with their consent. As of June 30, 2020, we do not have any accounts payable on extended terms or payment deferment with our vendors.
On March 30, 2020, we entered into the BTA for the sale of our Foundry Services Group business and the Fab 4, which has a purchase price equal to the KRW equivalent of $344.7 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments set forth in the BTA. The sale is expected to close by September 2020, subject to customary closing conditions, whereupon we expect to use a portion of the cash received to repay indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. We currently believe that we will have sufficient cash reserves from cash on hand and expected cash from operations, as well as cash received from the consummation of the BTA, to fund our operations as well as capital expenditures for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.
On January 17, 2017, we issued an aggregate of $86.3 million in principal amount of our Exchangeable Notes. We may, from time to time, repurchase a portion of our outstanding 2021 Notes and our Exchangeable Notes through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions subject to prevailing market conditions and our available cash reserves. In December 2018 and February 2019, we repurchased a principal amount equal to $1.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of the Exchangeable Notes in the open market. As of June 30, 2020, our Exchangeable Notes were reclassified as a current liability as their maturities were less than one year.
Working Capital
Our working capital balance as of June 30, 2020 was $202.2 million, compared to $245.5 million as of December 31, 2019. The $43.4 million decrease was primarily attributable to a reclassification of our Exchangeable Notes of $82.7 million, which was recorded as a current liability from the first quarter of 2020, which was offset in part by a $41.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash inflow provided by operating activities totaled $57.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $17.2 million of cash inflow provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The net operating cash inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflects our net income of $5.4 million, as adjusted favorably by $52.9 million, which mainly consisted of net foreign currency loss, depreciation and amortization, provision for severance benefits, and net unfavorable impact of $1.2 million from changes of operating assets and liabilities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash outflow used in investing activities totaled $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $20.2 million of cash outflow used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $8.4 million decrease was primarily attributable to a $6.2 million decrease in purchase of plant, property and equipment, an $1.8 million net decrease in hedge collateral and a $0.4 million net decrease in guarantee deposits.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash outflow used in financing activities totaled $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $4.0 million of cash outflow used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The financing cash outflow for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to a payment of $1.0 million for the repurchase of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units. The financing cash outflow for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to a payment of $1.2 million for the repurchases of 2021 Notes and Exchangeable Notes in the first quarter of 2019 and a payment of $2.4 million for the repurchases of our common stock in January 2019 pursuant to our stock repurchase plan.

For additional cash flow information associated with our discontinued operation, please see “Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2 – Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” included elsewhere in this Report.
Capital Expenditures
We routinely make capital expenditures for fabrication facility maintenance, enhancement of our existing facilities and reinforcement of our global research and development capability. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, capital expenditures for plant, property and equipment were $8.8 million, a $6.2 million, or 41.1%, decrease from $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the timing of our equipment deployment. The capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were related to meeting customer demand, supporting technology and facility improvement at our fabrication facilities.

The indentures relating to the Exchangeable Notes and the 2021 Notes contain covenants as detailed in “Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Borrowings” in this Report. Those covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. Certain of those restrictive covenants will terminate if the Exchangeable Notes or the 2021 Notes are rated investment grade at any time.
We lease office space and equipment under various operating lease agreements that expire through 2023.
We are a party to an arrangement for the water treatment facility in Gumi, Korea, which includes a
10-year
service agreement.
Beginning in July 2018, we have contributed a certain percentage of severance benefits, accrued for eligible employees for their services beginning January 1, 2018, to certain severance insurance deposit accounts. These accounts consist of time deposits and other guaranteed principal and interest, and are maintained at insurance companies, banks or security companies for the benefit of employees. We deduct the contributions made to these severance insurance deposit accounts from our accrued severance benefits. As of June 30, 2020, our accrued severance benefits totaled $49.9 million and cumulative contributions to these severance insurance deposit accounts amounted to $1.6 million. Our related cash payments for future contributions are $3.3 million for the remaining period of 2020, to the extent that our obligations are contractual, fixed and reasonably estimable.
We follow US GAAP guidance on uncertain tax positions. Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $0.4 million as of June 30, 2020. 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.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any
off-balance
sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation
S-K.

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 further in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, or our 2019 Form
10-K,
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.
A description of our critical accounting policies that involve significant management judgement appears in our 2019 Form
10-K,
under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Reports of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” There have been no material changes in the matters for which we make accounting estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020, except for those related to discontinued operations as a result of changes in reporting that relate to the sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4.
Discontinued Operations.
We review the presentation of the planned disposition of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 based on the available information and events that have occurred. The review consists of evaluating whether the disposition meets the definition of a component for which the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the other components of the business, and if so, whether it is anticipated that after the disposal the cash flows of the component would be eliminated from continuing operations and whether the disposition represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations and financial results. In addition, we evaluate whether the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 have met the criteria as assets held for sale. In order for a planned disposition to be classified as assets held for sale, the established criteria must be met as of the reporting date, including an active program to market the sale and the expected disposition of within one year. The assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying amounts or estimated fair value less costs to sell and depreciation and amortization ceases on the that the held for sale criteria are met.
The Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 is presented as discontinued operations beginning in the first quarter 2020 since all the criteria described above are met. For a divestiture that qualifies as a discontinued operation, all comparative periods presented are reclassified in the consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the results of operations of a discontinued operation are reclassified to income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented. See “Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” for additional information.

Item 3.
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 US 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 June 30, 2020 for our Korean subsidiary, a 10% devaluation of the Korean won against the US dollar would have resulted in a decrease of $0.3 million in our US dollar financial instruments and cash balances.
See “Note 9. Derivative Financial Instruments” to our consolidated financial statements under “Item 1. Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates on Reported Results of Operations” for additional information regarding our foreign exchange hedging activities.
Interest Rate Exposures
As of June 30, 2020, $83.74 million aggregate principal amount of our Exchangeable Notes were outstanding. Interest on the Exchangeable Notes accrues at a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum and is paid semi-annually every March 1 and September 1 of each year until the Exchangeable Notes mature on March 1, 2021. As of June 30, 2020, $224.25 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Notes were also outstanding. Interest on the 2021 Notes accrues at a fixed rate of 6.625% per annum and is paid semi-annually every January 15 and July 15 of each year until the 2021 Notes mature on July 15, 2021. Since the interest rates are fixed, we have no market interest rate risk related to the Exchangeable Notes and the 2021 Notes.

Controls and Procedures
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 or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this Report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of June 30, 2020, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties, any of which could have a significant or material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity or consolidated financial statements. You should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form
10-K
(including that the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic may also exacerbate the risks discussed therein), herein and other reports we have filed with the SEC. The risks described herein and therein are not the only ones we face. This information should be considered carefully together with the other information contained in this Report and the other reports and materials the Company files with the SEC.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition and prospects may be materially and adversely affected by the recent
COVID-19
pandemic.
COVID-19,
a virus causing potentially deadly respiratory tract infections, which has spread rapidly and enveloped most of the world, is a global public health crisis. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the
COVID-19
outbreak as a pandemic. Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures. In response to the virus, national and local governments in numerous countries around the world have implemented substantial lockdown measures, and other countries and local governments may enact similar policies. Private sector companies are also taking precautionary measures, such as requiring employees to work remotely, imposing travel restrictions and temporarily closing businesses and facilities. These restrictions, and future prevention and mitigation measures, are likely to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which could materially adversely affect our future operations. Uncertainties regarding the economic impact of the
COVID-19
outbreak are likely to result in sustained market turmoil, which could also negatively impact our business, financial condition and cash flows.
These measures have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers, and those of our respective vendors, suppliers, and partners. The disruptions to our operations caused by the
COVID-19
outbreak may result in inefficiencies, delays and additional costs in our research and development, sales and marketing, and customer service efforts that we cannot fully mitigate through remote or other alternative work arrangements. Also, some suppliers of materials used in the production of our products may be located in areas that have been or will be more severely impacted by
COVID-19,
which could limit our ability to obtain sufficient materials for our products. In addition, the severe global economic disruption caused by
COVID-19
may cause our customers and
end-users
of our products to suffer significant economic hardship, which could result in decreased demand for our products in the future and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition (including liquidity) and prospects.
The impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic continues to evolve and its duration and ultimate disruption on our customers,
end-users,
overall demand for our products, supply chain, and the related financial impact to us, cannot be estimated at this time. Should such disruption continue for an extended period of time, the impact could have a more severe adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition (including liquidity). Additionally, weaker economic conditions generally could result in impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets, or our ability to raise additional capital, if needed.
