Diodes Incorporated Reports Third Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Achieves Record Net Income, Gross Margin and Revenue
Dallas, Texas — November 8, 2010 — Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Third Quarter Highlights
  Achieved sixth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth;
 
  Revenue was a record $163.1 million, an increase of 33.6 percent over the $122.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 and a sequential increase of 9.4 percent over the $149.2 million in the second quarter of 2010;
 
  Gross profit was a record $61.0 million, an increase of 62.2 percent over the $37.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 and a sequential increase of 14.0 percent over the $53.5 million in the second quarter of 2010;
 
  Gross margin was a record 37.4 percent, compared to 30.8 percent in the third quarter of 2009 and 35.8 percent in the second quarter of 2010;
 
  Income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest was a record $27.4 million, compared to $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2010;
 
  GAAP net income was a record $21.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009 and $16.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010;
 
  Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $23.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $9.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009 and $18.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010;
 
  Excluding $2.1 million of share-based compensation expense, both GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted net income would have increased by $0.05 per diluted share; and
 
  Achieved $43.1 million cash flow from operations, $18.2 million net cash flow and $17.8 million free cash flow.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was a record $163.1 million, an increase of 33.6 percent over the $122.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 and a sequential increase of 9.4 percent over the $149.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Revenue increased in the quarter due to strong demand for products across all of the Company’s worldwide markets. The successful capturing of Zetex product synergies has allowed the Company to take advantage of European and North American market strength, which has resulted in higher revenue growth in those regions.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2010 was a record $61.0 million, an increase of 62.2 percent over the $37.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 and a sequential increase of 14.0 percent over the $53.5 million in the second quarter of 2010. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2010 was a record 37.4 percent, compared to 30.8 percent in the third quarter of 2009 and 35.8 percent in the second quarter of 2010. Gross margin improved in the quarter due to a favorable mix of higher margin products, generally stable ASP’s, another quarterly record of output at our packaging facilities and continued high utilization at the Company’s wafer fabs.
Commenting on the quarter, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Diodes Incorporated, stated, “The third quarter represents the Company’s sixth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth and was complemented by our achievement of record net income in the quarter. Over that time, we have consistently executed on our new product development plans and expanded our design

 


 

wins, which have contributed to our market share gains at key customers and record results. Additionally, the capital investments that we made to expand capacity at our packaging facilities over the last twelve months have enabled us to achieve record output during this year. Although capacity remains tight, we have proactively shifted our product mix toward higher margin products to achieve the highest gross margin in the Company’s history. These results reflect Diodes’ continued commitment to grow faster than our addressable markets as we secure greater market share in key end-equipment, launch additional products in new markets and leverage our broadened product portfolio to maintain a higher level of design wins.”
Third quarter of 2010 GAAP net income was $21.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to third quarter of 2009 of $7.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, and second quarter of 2010 of $16.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $23.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, which excluded, net of tax, $1.3 million of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount on the Convertible Senior Notes and $0.8 million of non-cash acquisition related intangible asset amortization costs. The following is a summary reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income and per share data, net of tax (in thousands, except per share data):
         
GAAP net income
  $ 21,162  
 
     
 
       
GAAP diluted earnings per share
  $ 0.46  
 
     
 
       
Adjustments to reconcile net income to adjusted net income:
       
 
       
Amortization of debt discount
    1,277  
 
     
 
       
Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets
    790  
 
     
 
       
Non-GAAP adjusted net income
  $ 23,229  
 
     
 
       
Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share
  $ 0.51  
 
     
See tables below for further details of the reconciliation.
Included in the third quarter of 2010 GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately $2.1 million, net of tax, non-cash share-based compensation expense. Excluding this expense, both GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS would have increased by an additional $0.05 per share.
As of September 30, 2010, Diodes had approximately $264 million in cash and cash equivalents and $130 million in long-term debt primarily related to its Convertible Senior Notes.
Business Outlook
Dr. Lu concluded, “With the market supply shortage easing as well as supply and demand becoming more balanced, we expect to return to more seasonal trends for the fourth quarter. We believe we will further expand our market share as a result of our continued focus on design wins, new products and customer expansion. In terms of fourth quarter guidance, revenue is anticipated to range between $160 million and $168 million, or between a decrease of 2 percent and an increase of 3 percent sequentially. Gross margin is expected to be comparable to the third quarter level. Operating expenses are anticipated to be comparable to third quarter levels on a percent of revenue basis. We expect our income tax rate for the fourth quarter to range between 17 and 23 percent. Shares used to calculate GAAP EPS for the fourth quarter are anticipated to be approximately 46.3 million.”

ADJUSTED NET INCOME
This measure consists of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net income (loss), which is then adjusted solely for the purpose of adjusting for amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, amortization of debt discount, impairment of long-lived assets, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, forgiveness of debt, and taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings, as discussed below. Excluding impairment of long-lived assets, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, forgiveness of debt, and taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings provides investors with a better depiction of the Company’s operating results and provides a more informed baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Excluding the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets and amortization of debt discount allows for comparison of the Company’s current and historic operating performance. The Company excludes the above listed items to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to develop budgets, to determine incentive compensation awards and to manage cash expenditures. Presentation of the above non-GAAP measures allows investors to review the Company’s results of operations from the same viewpoint as the Company’s management and Board of Directors. The Company has historically provided similar non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors an enhanced understanding of its operations, facilitate investors’ analyses and comparisons of its current and past results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of its future performance. The Company also believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information that research analysts use to evaluate semiconductor companies. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results and may differ from measures used by other companies. The Company recommends a review of net income on both a GAAP basis and non-GAAP basis be performed to get a comprehensive view of the Company’s results. The Company provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP adjusted net income.
Amortization of acquisition related intangible assetsThe Company excluded the amortization of its acquisition related intangible assets including developed technologies and customer relationships. The fair value of the acquisition related intangible assets, which was allocated to the assets through purchase accounting, is amortized using straight-line methods which approximate the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets. The Company believes the exclusion of the amortization expense of acquisition related assets is appropriate as a significant portion of the purchase price for its acquisitions was allocated to the intangible assets that have short lives and exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both the Company’s newly acquired and long-held businesses. In addition, the Company excluded the amortization expense as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to this expense.
Amortization of debt discountThe Company excluded the amortization of debt discount on its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes (“Notes”). This amortization was excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s core operating performance. Although the amortization of debt discount is recurring in nature, the expected life of the Notes is five years as that is the earliest date in which the Notes can be put back to the Company at par value. As such, the amortization period ends October 1, 2011, at which time the Company will no longer be recording an amortization of debt discount. In addition, the Company has repurchased some of its Notes, which can make the principal amount outstanding and related amortization vary from period to period, and as such the Company believes the exclusion of the amortization facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may reflect different principal amounts outstanding and related amortization.
Impairment of long-lived assetsThe Company excluded the impairment of long-lived assets. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company impaired certain assets, which was excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s core operating performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the impairment of long-lived assets provides investors an enhanced view of a gain the Company may incur from time to time and facilitates comparisons with results of other periods that may not reflect such impairments.
Gain on sale of assetsThe Company excluded the gain recorded for the sale assets. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold assets located in Germany and this gain was excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s core operating performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the gain on sale of assets provides investors an enhanced view of a gain the Company may incur from time to time and facilitates comparisons with results of other periods that may not reflect such gains.
Restructuring costsThe Company recorded various restructuring charges to reduce its cost structure in order to enhance operating effectiveness and improve profitability. These restructuring activities impacted various functional areas of the Company’s operations in several locations and were undertaken to meet specific business objectives in light of the facts and circumstances at the time of each restructuring event. These restructuring charges are excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the restructuring charges provides investors an enhanced view of the cost structure of the Company’s operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such charges or may reflect different levels of such charges.
Loss (gain) on extinguishment of debtThe Company excluded the loss (gain) from extinguishment of debt from the repurchase of its Notes. The loss (gain) was excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s core operating performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt provides investors an enhanced view of a loss (gain) the Company may incur from time to time and facilitates comparisons with results of other periods that may not reflect such losses (gains).
Forgiveness of debtThe Company excluded the forgiveness of debt related to one of its Asia subsidiaries in the second quarter of 2009. This forgiveness of debt is excluded from management’s assessment of our operating performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the forgiveness of debt provides investors an enhanced view of the adjustment the Company may incur from time to time and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such charges.
Taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings — The Company excluded the non-cash income tax expense related to the repatriation of foreign earnings. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company repatriated approximately $28.5 million of accumulated earnings from one of its Chinese subsidiaries, resulting in additional non-cash federal and state income tax expense. The Company intends to permanently reinvest overseas all of its remaining earnings from its foreign subsidiaries. The Company believes the exclusion of the non-cash income tax expense related to the repatriation of foreign earnings provides investors an enhanced view of a one-time occurrence and facilitates comparisons with results of other periods that do not reflect such a non-cash income tax expense.

 


 

ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
This non-GAAP financial measure is the portion of the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) assigned to each share of stock, excluding amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, amortization of debt discount, impairment of long-lived assets, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, forgiveness of debt and taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings, as described above. Excluding impairment of long-lived assets, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, forgiveness of debt and taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings provides investors with a better depiction of the Company’s operating results and provides a more informed baseline for modeling future earnings expectations, as described in further detail above. Excluding the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets and amortization of debt discount allows for comparison of the Company’s current and historic operating performance, as described in further detail above. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results and may differ from measures used by other companies. The Company recommends a review of diluted earnings per share on both a GAAP basis and non-GAAP basis be performed to obtain a comprehensive view of the Company’s results. Information on how these share calculations are made is included in the reconciliation table provided.
FREE CASH FLOW (FCF)
FCF of $17.8 million for the third quarter of 2010 is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by taking cash flow from operations less capital expenditures ($43.1 million less (-) $25.3 million). FCF represents the cash and cash equivalents that we are able to generate after taking into account cash outlays required to maintain or expand property, plant and equipment. FCF is important because it allows us to pursue opportunities to develop new products, make acquisitions and reduce debt.

 


 

DIODES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) TO EBITDA
EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Management believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, such as financial institutions in extending credit, in evaluating companies in our industry and provides further clarity on our profitability. In addition, management uses EBITDA, along with other GAAP measures, in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing, operating in different income tax jurisdictions, and accounting effects of capital spending, including the impact of our asset base, which can differ depending on the book value of assets and the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income from operations and net income, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments.
