Diodes Incorporated Reports Record Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Results
Achieves 6th Consecutive Quarter of Record Revenue, Gross Profit and Earnings
Plano, Texas – August 4, 2022 -- Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter Highlights
Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our achievement of the sixth consecutive quarter of record revenue, gross profit and earnings is a strong testament to our team’s continued execution, especially considering the COVID-related quarantine in China and Taiwan that constrained production during the quarter. In the Shanghai area and other major locations, we shifted our manufacturing facilities to closed-loop operations for two months in the quarter, yet still delivered results above the mid-point of our guidance. Notably, second quarter revenue grew approximately 14% year-over-year, while adjusted earnings per share grew 58% over the same period.
“Our execution was also evidenced by our achievement of 41.2% gross margin, which was the fifth consecutive quarter of improvement and the second consecutive quarter above our target model of 40% largely due to product mix improvements. Contributing to this improvement was our industrial and automotive end markets reaching a combined total of 41% of revenue for the first time, which exceeds our 2025 business model target of 40%. The automotive market, which represented a record 14% of revenue in the quarter, remains a key focus area for Diodes as we continued to gain strong traction with both new and existing customers in all regions.
“Also during the quarter, we successfully closed our acquisition of onsemi’s South Portland, Maine wafer fabrication facility (SPFAB), which provides additional available capacity to support our future growth, especially in the automotive and industrial end markets. We were pleased to welcome the SPFAB workforce to the Diodes’ family as we continue to maintain operational efficiency and fully integrate this facility into our global manufacturing operation. With our third quarter expectations indicating our 10th consecutive quarter of revenue growth and overall record results, Diodes has solidly positioned itself not only as a reliable supplier and partner to our customers, but also a consistent performing investment for our shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2022
Revenue for second quarter 2022 was a record $501.0 million, increasing 13.7 percent from $440.4 million in the second quarter 2021 and 3.9 percent from $482.1 million in the first quarter 2022.
GAAP gross profit for the second quarter 2022 was a record $206.5 million, or a record 41.2 percent of revenue, increasing from $159.8 million, or 36.3 percent of revenue, in the second quarter of 2021 and $196.7 million, or 40.8 percent of revenue, in the first quarter 2022.
GAAP operating expenses for second quarter 2022 were $100.3 million, or 20.0 percent of revenue, and on a non-GAAP basis were $99.7 million, or 19.9 percent of revenue, which excludes $4.0 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangible asset expenses, $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs and a $3.6 million gain on insurance recovery. GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter 2021 were $94.4 million, or 21.4 percent of revenue, and in the first quarter 2022 were $103.6 million, or 21.5 percent of revenue.
Second quarter 2022 GAAP net income was a record $80.2 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income in the second quarter 2021 of $55.4 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, and GAAP net income of $72.7 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2022.
Second quarter 2022 non-GAAP adjusted net income was a record $86.9 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, which excluded, net of tax, $6.2 million non-cash mark-to-market adjustment of investments, $3.3 million of acquisition-related intangible asset costs, $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs and a $2.9 million gain on insurance recovery. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $54.6 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2021 and $80.3 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2022.
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):
Note: Throughout this release, we refer to “net income attributable to common stockholders” as “net income.”
(See the reconciliation tables of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income near the end of this release for further details.)
Included in second quarter 2022 GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately $6.6 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 second quarter 2022, $0.15 for second quarter 2021 and $0.14 for the first quarter 2022.
EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, in second quarter 2022 was $130.6 million, or 26.0 percent of revenue, increasing from $99.4 million, or 22.6 percent of revenue, in second quarter 2021 and $118.2 million, or 24.5 percent of revenue, in first quarter 2022. For a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA, see the table near the end of this release for further details.
For second quarter 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $85.0 million. Net cash flow was a positive $1.5 million, including capital expenditures and additional borrowings of $35.1 million related to the purchase of the onsemi wafer fabrication facility. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $45.5 million, which includes $39.6 million of capital expenditures.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $316 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments. Total debt (including long-term and short-term) amounted to approximately $265 million and working capital was approximately $715 million.
The results announced today are preliminary and unaudited, as they are subject to the Company finalizing its closing procedures and completion of the quarterly review by its independent registered public accounting firm. As such, these results are subject to revision until the Company files its Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2022.
Business Outlook
Dr. Lu concluded, “With our excellent execution and product mix improvements, we are guiding for sequential growth and expect revenue to be approximately $521 million, plus or minus 3 percent, and GAAP gross margin to be 41.5 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 20.5 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect net interest expense to be approximately $3.0 million. Our income tax rate is expected to be 18.5 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the third quarter are anticipated to be approximately 46.2 million.”
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $3.2 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.
Non-cash mark-to-market investment adjustments – The Company excluded market to market adjustments on various equity related investments, including certain LSC equity investments. 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.
Insurance Recovery for Manufacturing Facility – The Company has recorded gains related to insurance recovery for a manufacturing facility in Asia. The Company believes the exclusion of the insurance recovery provides investors with a more accurate reflection of the continuing operations of the Company and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods which may not reflect such gains.
CASH FLOW ITEMS
Free cash flow (FCF) (Non-GAAP)
FCF for the second quarter of 2022 is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations. For the second quarter of 2022, FCF was $45.5 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.
