Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Diodes once again set new records across multiple financial metrics, including revenue, gross profit, EBITDA and net income. Gross margin also further expanded by 260-basis points year-over-year and 70-basis points sequentially as a result of record revenue in the automotive and industrial end-markets as well as from our Pericom IC products. Additionally, we continued to successfully drive increased profitability on incremental revenue growth, with first half 2019 revenue increasing 8% over the same period last year and non-GAAP net income increasing more than 40% over the same period.

“Notably, our above-market performance was achieved in the midst of the current global trade environment as a direct result of our past design wins and expanded customer content. Over the past year, we have been strategically focused on demand creation and deploying a total solution sales approach that leverages our broadened product portfolio, contributing to our consistent share gains. I believe these proven strategies will continue to sustain Diodes future growth and outperformance of our served markets, while also driving increasing profitability and cash flow.”
