Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our gross margin and earnings per share continued to expand in the quarter to record levels, driven by another quarter of record revenue combined with outstanding execution by the team, especially considering the COVID-related lockdowns and power outages in certain regions of China for part of the quarter. Contributing to our strong performance was the achievement of record revenue in our automotive and industrial end markets that together totaled 44% of revenue, which is above 41% for the second consecutive quarter and above our 2025 target model. Diodes’ automotive business represented 16% of total revenue for the first time, reflecting the ongoing success of our customer and content expansion initiatives as well as share gains in this end market.
“Over the past several quarters, Diodes has consistently proven its ability to execute amidst one of the most challenging supply chain environments that the industry has experienced and was still able to deliver multiple consecutive quarters of record results, expanded margins and increased profitability. When looking back over the past two years, our revenue has grown 68%, gross margin expanded 590 basis points and adjusted earnings per share increased over 220%. These achievements truly set Diodes apart as a consistent operator through diverse business and economic environments. We are well on our way toward our 2025 financial targets of $2.5 billion in revenue and $1 billion in gross profit.”
