Diodes Incorporated Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Achieves 10% Sequential Revenue Growth and

Projects Continued Growth in the Third Quarter

Plano, Texas – August 8, 2012 – 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 its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter Highlights

Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Diodes Incorporated, stated, “I am pleased to report 10 percent sequential revenue growth driven by improved demand across all of our geographies and end markets as we continued to gain market share. The quarter benefited from the ramping of new projects for our products used in smartphones and tablets, where Diodes is very well positioned. Our growth is particularly noteworthy considering our stronger than seasonal results last quarter, which was the low point in the demand cycle. Margins also improved in the quarter as we began to slowly shift to higher margin products, while also benefiting from new product initiatives and manufacturing efficiency improvements.

“In response to our expectation for continued growth in the third quarter, we made targeted capital expenditures in our Shanghai facilities to increase capacity for specific packages and products. Although uncertainty remains regarding the global economic environment in the second half of the year, we remain focused on increasing design wins, gaining market share and overall efficiencies.”

Second Quarter 2012

Revenue for the second quarter 2012 was $159.2 million, an increase of 10.0 percent over the $144.7 million in the first quarter 2012, and a decrease of 6.2 percent from the record quarterly revenue of $169.8 million in the second quarter 2011. Revenue was up sequentially due to continued improvements in demand across all of the Company’s geographies and end markets.

Gross profit for the second quarter 2012 was $41.0 million, or 25.8 percent of revenue, compared to $33.7 million, or 23.3 percent of revenue, in the first quarter 2012, and $55.6 million, or 32.8 percent, in the second quarter 2011. Gross profit margin improved sequentially due to a greater mix of higher margin products combined with new product initiatives and the benefit of manufacturing efficiencies.

Second quarter 2012 GAAP net income was $6.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $4.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2012, and GAAP net income of $18.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2011.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter 2012 was $6.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, which excluded, net of tax, $0.8 million of non-cash acquisition related intangible asset amortization costs and a $1.1 million gain on the sale of assets, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $4.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2012 and $20.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2011. 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):

(See the reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income tables near the end of the release for further details)

Included in second quarter 2012 GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately $2.3 million, net of tax, non-cash share-based compensation expense. Excluding share-based compensation expense, both GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS would have increased by an additional $0.05 per share.

EBITDA, which represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, for the second quarter 2012 was $23.2 million, compared to $21.2 million for the first quarter 2012, and $40.5 million for the second quarter 2011. For a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA (non-GAAP), see the table near the end of the release for further details.

As of June 30, 2012, Diodes had approximately $168 million in cash and cash equivalents, and working capital was approximately $373 million.

Business Outlook

Dr. Lu concluded, “As we look to the second half of 2012, we are approaching the challenging environment cautiously as we began to see demand moderate in June and growth in China is proving to be softer than expected. That said, we remain focused on executing on our profitable growth model and expect revenue in the third quarter to increase to a range between $162 million and $170 million. We expect gross margin to be 28 percent, plus or minus 2 percent. Operating expenses in third quarter are expected to be 21.4 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect our income tax rate to range between 7 and 13 percent, and shares used to calculate GAAP EPS for the third quarter are anticipated to be approximately 47.2 million.”

For the six months ended June 30, 2011:

Note: Included in GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately $4.2 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 $0.09 per share.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME (Non-GAAP)

This measure consists of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net income, which is then adjusted solely for the purpose of adjusting for amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, gain on sale of assets and amortization of debt discount, as discussed below. Excluding gain on sale of assets 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 to non-GAAP adjusted net income.

Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets - The 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 other companies with respect to this expense.

Gain on sale of assets - The Company excluded the gain recorded for the sale of certain assets. During the first quarter 2012, the Company sold an intangible asset located in Europe and this gain was excluded from management’s assessment of the Company’s core operating performance as this long-lived asset was a non-core intellectual asset. During the second quarter 2012, the Company sold a building located in Taiwan 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 these assets provides investors an enhanced view of gains the Company may incur from time to time and facilitates comparisons with results of other periods that may not reflect such gains.

Amortization of debt discount - The 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 was recurring in nature, the expected life of the Notes was five years as that was the earliest date in which the Notes could be put back to the Company at par value. The amortization period ended October 1, 2011, therefore the Company no longer records amortization of debt discount.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE (Non-GAAP)

This non-GAAP financial measure is the portion of the Company’s GAAP net income assigned to each share of stock, excluding amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, gain on sale of assets and amortization of debt discount as described above. Excluding gain on sale of assets 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 tables provided.

CASH FLOW ITEMS

Free cash flow (FCF) (Non-GAAP)

FCF for second quarter 2012 is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by taking cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. For second quarter 2012, the amount was $4.5 million ($16.8 million less (-) $12.3 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 TO EBITDA

EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax provision, 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.
