Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 6, 2009, Diodes Incorporated issued a press release announcing its second quarter
2009 results. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
On August 6, 2009, Diodes Incorporated hosted a conference call to discuss its second quarter
2009 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 August 6, 2009, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Diodes Incorporated, as well as Richard D. White, Chief Financial Officer, Mark King,
Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Carl C. Wertz, Vice President of Finance and
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, Diodes Incorporated (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 our operating results in a manner that enables investors to more
thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to past performance. We also believe these
non-GAAP measures provide investors with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company’s future
financial performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purpose. We believe
that our investors should have access to, and that we are obligated to provide, the same set of
tools that we use in analyzing our 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. The following, along with others described in Exhibit 99.1, is a
description of non-GAAP measures used:
Free Cash Flow (FCF) is operating cash flows minus capital expenditures. FCF represents the
cash and cash equivalents that we are able to generate after taking into account investments
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.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The press release in Exhibit 99.1 also provides an update on the Company’s business outlook.
