Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 9, 2022, Diodes Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 financial results. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
In the press release, 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. The Company believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools that management uses in analyzing results. 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 and reconciliation with GAAP of the non-GAAP measures used.
The information furnished in this Item 2.02, including the exhibit incorporated by reference, will not be treated as “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless that filing expressly refers to specific information in this Report.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The press release furnished in Exhibit 99.1 also provides an update on the Company’s business outlook, that is intended to be within the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) as comprising forward looking statements within the meaning of the Act.
The information furnished in this Item 7.01, including the exhibit incorporated by reference, will not be treated as “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act, or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless that filing expressly refers to specific information in this Report.

Exhibit 99.1
Diodes Incorporated Reports Record Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Financial Results
Achieves Record Gross Margin of 39.7% in Fourth Quarter; Record Annual Revenue of $1.8 Billion with 47% Growth, Record Gross Profit of $670 Million with 56% Growth and Record GAAP EPS of $5.00 with 166% Growth
Plano, Texas – February 9, 2022 -- Diodes Incorporated (DIODES) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Fourth Quarter and Recent Highlights
Year 2021 Highlights
Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “DIODES had a record year in 2021, reflecting a culmination of sustained execution that consisted of five consecutive quarters of record revenue as well as seven consecutive quarters of adjusted earnings growth. In fact, full year revenue grew 47% with GAAP earnings per share expanding 166% and adjusted earnings per share expanding 120%, demonstrating the significant operating leverage in our model.
“Additionally, gross margin expanded 610 basis points from the first quarter of 2021, the first full quarter after completing the LITE-ON Semiconductor (LSC) acquisition, to the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was driven by a combination of product mix improvements, manufacturing efficiencies and improved loading. Also contributing to our ongoing margin expansion has been the achievement of five consecutive quarters of record Pericom revenue, three consecutive quarters of record industrial revenue as well as six consecutive quarters of record automotive revenue, which grew 59% in 2021 over the prior year and reached a record 12 percent of total revenue for the full year.
“With full year revenue of $1.8 billion and gross profit of $0.7 billion, 2021 represented a significant step toward our 2025 targets of $1 billion in gross profit on $2.5 billion revenue and 40% gross margin. In addition to the manufacturing synergies provided by the LSC acquisition over this past year, we expect to realize expanded synergies across our product portfolio, customers and end markets in the coming years to drive additional revenue growth and gross margin expansion.”
Fourth Quarter 2021
Revenue for fourth quarter 2021 was a record $480.2 million, increasing 37.0 percent from $350.4 million in the fourth quarter 2020 and 1.9 percent from $471.4 million in the third quarter 2021.
GAAP gross profit for the fourth quarter 2021 was a record $190.7 million, or a record 39.7 percent of revenue, increasing from $122.7 million, or 35.0 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2020 and $181.2 million, or 38.4 percent of revenue, in the third quarter 2021.
GAAP operating expenses for fourth quarter 2021 were $104.7 million, or 21.8 percent of revenue, and on a non-GAAP basis were $100.1 million, or 20.8 percent of revenue, which excludes $4.1 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangible asset expenses and $0.6 million of acquisition-related costs. GAAP operating expenses in the fourth quarter 2020 were $82.9 million, or 23.7 percent of revenue, and in the third quarter 2021 were $104.0 million, or 22.1 percent of revenue.
Fourth quarter 2021 GAAP net income was $65.5 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income in the fourth quarter 2020 of $29.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, and GAAP net income of $68.4 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2021.
Fourth quarter 2021 non-GAAP adjusted net income was a record $73.3 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, which excluded, net of tax, $3.3 million of acquisition-related intangible asset costs, $0.4 million of acquisition-related costs, $13.5 million of costs related to certain LSC investments, and a $9.4 million gain on sale of a manufacturing subsidiary. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $37.3 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2020 and $67.3 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2021.
The following is an unaudited 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):

Included in fourth quarter 2021 GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately $6.5 million, net of tax, of non-cash share-based compensation expense. Excluding share-based compensation expense, both GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) and non-GAAP adjusted EPS would have increased by $0.14 per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2021, $0.10 for fourth quarter 2020 and $0.18 for the third quarter 2021.
EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, in fourth quarter 2021 was a record $139.0 million, or 28.9 percent of revenue, increasing from $67.1 million, or 19.1 percent of revenue, in fourth quarter 2020 and $114.5 million, or 24.3 percent of revenue, in third quarter 2021. For a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA, see the table near the end of this release for further details.
For fourth quarter 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $77.6 million. Net cash flow was a positive $82.0 million. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $22.5 million, which includes $55.0 million of capital expenditures.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $373 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments. Total debt (including long-term and short-term) amounted to approximately $301 million and working capital was approximately $717 million.
The results announced today are preliminary and unaudited, as they are subject to the Company finalizing its closing procedures and completion of the Company’s 2021 annual audit by its independent registered public accounting firm. As such, these results are subject to revision until the Company files its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Business Outlook
Dr. Lu concluded, “For the first quarter of 2022, we expect revenue to be approximately $480 million, plus or minus 3 percent, which at the mid-point is better than typical seasonality of down 5 percent. We expect GAAP gross margin on a consolidated basis to be 39.7 percent, plus or minus 1 percent. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which are GAAP operating expenses adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, are expected to be approximately 21.0 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect net interest expense to be approximately $1.4 million. Our income tax rate is expected to be 18.4 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the first quarter are anticipated to be approximately 46.3 million.”
Purchase accounting adjustments related to amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $3.3 million, after tax, for previous acquisitions is not included in these non-GAAP estimates.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s financial statements present net income and earnings per share that are calculated using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company’s management makes adjustments to the GAAP measures that it feels are necessary to allow investors and other readers of the Company’s financial releases to view the Company’s operating results as viewed by the Company’s management, board of directors and research analysts in the semiconductor industry. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered alternatives or necessarily superior to, GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. The explanation of the adjustments made in the table above, are set forth below:
Detail of non-GAAP adjustments
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets – The Company excluded this item, including amortization of developed technologies and customer relationships. The fair value of the acquisition-related intangible assets is amortized using straight-line methods which approximate the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated useful life of the applicable assets. The Company believes that exclusion of this item is appropriate because 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 this item because there is significant variability and unpredictability among companies with respect to this expense.
Acquisition related costs – The Company excluded expenses associated with the acquisition of LITE-ON Semiconductor, which consisted of advisory, legal and other professional and consulting fees. These costs were expensed as they were incurred and as services were received, and in which the corresponding tax adjustments were made for the non-deductible portions of these expenses. The Company believes the exclusion of the acquisition related costs provides investors with a more accurate reflection of costs likely to be incurred in the absence of an unusual event such as an acquisition and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such costs.
LSC investments related – The Company excluded market to market adjustments and the associated tax on certain LSC equity investments. The Company has also excluded certain taxes related to integration and restructuring activities within certain Taiwan subsidiaries including LSC. The Company believes this is not reflective of the ongoing operations and exclusion of this provides investors an enhanced view of the Company’s operating results.
Gain on sale of manufacturing subsidiary – The Company excluded gains associated with the sale of a manufacturing subsidiary. The transaction closed in December 2021. The Company believes this is not reflective of the ongoing operations and exclusion of this provides investors an enhanced view of the Company’s operating results
Restructuring costs – The Company has recorded restructuring charges related to the shutdown and relocation of one of our assembly and test facilities located in Chengdu, China, restructuring at other China sites, and restructuring of select European entities. 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.
Board member retirement costs – The Company excluded expenses in connection with the retirement of a member of the Company’s board of directors. The Company modified that director’s unvested RSU grants to vest upon his retirement. The shares subject to the modified grants will be released to that board member as if they were vesting under the original vesting timeline. In connection with this modification the Company recorded additional expense of approximately $1.7 million.
CASH FLOW ITEMS
Free cash flow (FCF) (Non-GAAP)
FCF for the fourth quarter of 2021 is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations. For the fourth quarter of 2021, FCF was $22.5 million, which 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.
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 and non-GAAP measures, in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. 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. For example, our EBITDA takes into account all net interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization without taking into account any amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest. 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.
