Reports Q1 revenue $46.2M, one estimate $46.0M. Camillo Martino, Magnachip's CEO said, "We delivered better-than-seasonal revenue growth in the quarter, reflecting both solid execution and also the impact of the previously communicated inventory and channel actions. We are comfortable with our progress toward our multi-year transformation, and we are showing some good early signs, particularly with the 55 new-generation products launched in 2025. Our focus remains on improving product competitiveness through an accelerated pace of new-generation product launches, which we believe will drive sustainable revenue growth, margin expansion, and improved utilization over time. We believe disciplined execution of our six-pillar strategy will deliver long-term shareholder value."
