Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 11, 2014, Diodes Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and fiscal 2013 financial results. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

As announced in its press release dated January 14, 2014 providing the date, time and live webcast and telephone access information, on February 11, 2014, the Company hosted a conference call to discuss its fourth quarter and fiscal 2013 financial results. A recording of the conference call has been posted on its website at www.diodes.com. A copy of the script is attached as Exhibit 99.2.

During the conference call on February 11, 2014, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as well as Richard D. White, Chief Financial Officer, Mark King, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Laura Mehrl, Director of Investor Relations, made additional comments during a question and answer session. A copy of the transcript is attached as Exhibit 99.3.

In the press release and earnings conference call, the Company utilizes financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in order to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing the Company’s operating results in a manner that enables investors to more thoroughly evaluate its current performance as compared to past performance. The Company also believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company’s future financial performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purpose. 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 similar measures used by other companies. See Exhibit 99.1 for a description of the non-GAAP measures used.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
