Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2017, MagnaChip anticipates:

• Revenue to be in the range of $157 million to $163 million, a sequential decline of 9.7% to 13%, reflecting both a typical first quarter seasonal decline and the timing of new AMOLED products previously described during our last earnings call in October 2016.  The first quarter revenue outlook represents year-on-year growth as compared to total revenue of $148.1 million in the first quarter of 2016. 
• Gross profit is anticipated to be in the range of 24% to 26%, about flat with Q4 2016, and above the 23.1% gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2016.
