WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Diodes Incorporated, (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading manufacturer and supplier of high quality discrete semiconductors, today announced that it has for the first time been included in the FORTUNE Small Business List of the 100 fastest growing small companies in America, ranking #10.

In the breakdown of three-year annual rates, Diodes, Inc. was ranked 8th for 220.9% earnings per share growth, ranked 24th for a total return on investment of 72.2%, and ranked 43rd for 23.3% revenue growth.

"We are very pleased that our strong financial performance has been recognized by yet another prestigious media survey. To enter the FORTUNE Small Business 100 for the first time in the number ten position is a great validation of our business strategy, which is built on innovation leadership, manufacturing excellence, and outstanding customer service," said Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and CEO of Diodes Incorporated.

To compile the list, FORTUNE Small Business asked financial research firm Zacks to screen annual reports for public companies with annual revenue of less than $200 million and a stock price of more than $1. Within that group, companies were ranked based on the past three years' earnings growth, revenue growth, and stock performance. Real estate firms and banks, which had begun to override the list in recent years, were not considered for the list this year.

California tops the list of the states with the most companies on the FORTUNE Small Business 100 with 14 companies, followed by Texas and Florida with nine and New York and Pennsylvania with eight.
