Gains LTM Market Share Despite Challenging Market Conditions; Announces $100 Million Share Repurchase Program

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2015-- Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter Highlights

• Revenue was $208.9 million, a decrease of 4.8 percent from the $219.5 million in the second quarter 2015 and a decrease of 10.6 percent from the $233.8 million in the third quarter 2014. Third quarter revenue reflected a 56 percent decline in assembly test manufacturing services, while revenue excluding manufacturing services was down only 1.5 percent sequentially;
• Gross profit was $61.6 million, compared to $69.4 million in the second quarter 2015 and $74.7 million in the third quarter 2014;
• Gross profit margin was 29.5 percent, compared to 31.6 percent in the second quarter 2015 and 32.0 percent in the third quarter 2014;
• GAAP net income was $2.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2015 of $15.1 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and third quarter 2014 of $19.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share;
• Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $6.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $16.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in second quarter 2015 and $21.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in third quarter 2014;
• Excluding $2.7 million, net of tax, non-cash share-based compensation expense, GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted net income would have increased by $0.05 per diluted share; and
• Achieved $45.5 million of cash flow from operations, and ($2.6) million of free cash flow, including $48.1 million of capital expenditures primarily for the Chengdu site expansion. Net cash flow was ($5.8) million, which includes the pay down of $6.1 million of long-term debt.

Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The sequential decline in third quarter revenue reflected a 56 percent decrease in revenue associated with assembly test manufacturing services, which was included in our previously disclosed guidance, combined with a greater than expected decline in distributor POP sales due to an inventory reduction. Distributor POS was actually strong in the quarter. When excluding manufacturing services, revenue was down only 1.5 percent sequentially. As a strategic response to the challenging environment, we took the opportunity to capture market share by securing additional content at key customer accounts, particularly in smartphones. Increased sales of these lower margin products combined with the lower capacity utilization at our packaging facilities pressured margins during the quarter. Notably, the incremental market share gained positions us more favorably with customers as market conditions improve.”

Dr. Lu concluded, “We currently expect this weak environment and the distributor inventory adjustments to extend into the fourth quarter so have taken additional measures to carefully manage expenses, including reductions in travel and vendor expenses as well as a freeze on new hires. Since we are cautiously optimistic for overall improvements in 2016, we expect these actions to be temporary and do not anticipate the need for more aggressive steps. Looking forward, I continue to believe Diodes’ increased focus on automotive, industrial and the high-volume portable and wearable markets will be key drivers of our business in the coming year.”

Third Quarter 2015

Revenue for the third quarter 2015 was $208.9 million, a decrease of 4.8 percent from the $219.5 million in the second quarter 2015 and a decrease of 10.6 percent from the $233.8 million in the third quarter 2014. The sequential decrease in revenue was due to the expected reduction in revenue associated with assembly test manufacturing services combined with an inventory reduction at global distributors.

Gross profit for the third quarter 2015 was $61.6 million, or 29.5 percent of revenue, compared to the second quarter 2015 of $69.4 million, or 31.6 percent of revenue, and compared to the third quarter 2014 of $74.7 million, or 32.0 percent of revenue. The decline in gross profit margin was due to lower capacity utilization and product mix.

GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter 2015 were $51.7 million, or 24.7 percent of revenue, compared to $47.4 million, or 21.6 percent of revenue in the second quarter 2015 and $49.7 million, or 21.3 percent of revenue in the third quarter 2014. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015, excluding acquisition related costs and an asset impairment charge, were $49.1 million, or 23.5 percent of revenue.

Income taxes during the first, second and third quarters of each year are accrued using an estimated worldwide annual effective tax rate, which is based on full-year forecasted income in each jurisdiction that Diodes operates. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company decreased its full-year income forecast, specifically in Asia. Effective tax rates in Asia are generally lower than in Europe and North America, and as a result, the estimated annual effective tax rate increased from approximately 26 percent in the second quarter to approximately 35 percent for the third quarter. To reflect this change, income tax expense in the third quarter was accrued to reflect an actual year-to-date 35 percent tax rate. This resulted in tax expense of $3.1 million for third quarter and a first half adjustment of $3.5 million for a total of $6.6 million, or an actual third quarter tax rate of approximately 64 percent.

Third quarter 2015 GAAP net income was $2.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2015 of $15.1 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and third quarter 2014 of $19.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share.

Third quarter 2015 non-GAAP adjusted net income was $6.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, which excluded, net of tax, $1.4 million of non-cash, acquisition related intangible asset amortization costs, a $1.3 million asset impairment charge for SFAB equipment due to the conversion from 6 inch to 8 inch capacity, and $0.8 million of costs related to the proposed acquisition of Pericom Semiconductor. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $16.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in second quarter 2015 and $21.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in third quarter 2014.

The following is a 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):

				Three Months Ended
				September 30, 2015
GAAP net income				$	2,837
GAAP diluted earnings per share				$	0.06
Adjustments to reconcile net income to adjusted net income:
Impairment Loss of Long-lived Assets					1,250
M&A Transaction cost					755
Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets					1,468
Non-GAAP adjusted net income				$	6,310
Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share				$	0.13

(See the reconciliation tables of net income to adjusted net income near the end of the release for further details.)

Included in the third quarter of 2015 GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted net income was approximately $2.7 million, net of tax, of non-cash share-based compensation expense. Excluding share-based compensation expense, both GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS would have increased by an additional $0.05 per share for each of the third quarter 2015, second quarter 2015 and third quarter 2014.

EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which represents earnings before net interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, for the third quarter 2015, was $29.7 million, compared to $40.2 million for the second quarter 2015 and $45.3 million for the third quarter 2014. For a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA, see the table near the end of the release for further details.

For the third quarter 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $45.5 million. Free cash flow was ($2.6) million, which includes $48.1 million of capital expenditures primarily for the Chengdu site expansion. Net cash flow was ($5.8) million, which reflects the pay down of $6.1 million of long-term debt.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $213 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, long-term debt totaled approximately $94 million, and working capital was approximately $475 million.

The results announced today are preliminary, as they are subject to the Company finalizing its closing procedures and customary quarterly review by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. As such, these results are subject to revision until the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2015.

Business Outlook

Dr. Lu concluded, “Due to continued weakness in the overall environment, we expect revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 to range between $191 million and $209 million, or flat to down 8.5 percent sequentially. We expect gross margin to be 26 percent, plus or minus 2 percent. Operating expenses are expected to be approximately 24 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect our income tax rate to be 35 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the fourth quarter are anticipated to be approximately 50 million. For the full year 2015, we expect our capital expenditures to be 5 to 9 percent of revenue, excluding the Chengdu site expansion.”

Share Repurchase Program

In conjunction with its earnings release today, Diodes also announced the Board of Directors has approved an authorization to purchase up to $100 million of common stock through the end of 2019. The Company’s objectives with regard to share repurchases include offsetting the dilution to shares outstanding that results from equity compensation grants and supplementing earnings per share growth. Repurchases will be funded from available working capital, including cash balances, advances under available credit facilities, cash flow from operations, and proceeds from exercises of equity compensation awards.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME and ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE (Non-GAAP)

This consists of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net income and earnings per share, which are then adjusted solely for the purpose of adjusting for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and retention costs. Excluding the above items provides investors with a better depiction of the Company’s operating results and provides a more informed baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. The Company excludes the above items to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to develop budgets, and to manage cash expenditures. Presentation of the above non-GAAP measures allows investors to review the Company’s results of operations from the same viewpoint as the Company’s management and Board of Directors. The Company has historically provided similar non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors an enhanced understanding of its operations, facilitate investors’ analyses and comparisons of its current and past results of operations and provide insight into its future performance. The Company also believes the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information that research analysts use to evaluate semiconductor companies. 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 and may differ from measures used by other companies. The Company recommends a review of net income and earnings per share on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis to obtain a comprehensive view of the Company’s results. The Company provides a reconciliation of GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per share to non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share.

Retention costs – The Company excluded costs related to the employee retention plan in connection with the acquisition of BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited. The retention payments are payable at the 12, 18 and 24 month anniversaries of the acquisition with the majority of the expense occurring in the third 12 months. Although these retention costs recurred every quarter until the final retention payment was made in third quarter 2015, they are not part of the normal annual salaries and therefore have been excluded. The Company believes the exclusion of this item provides investors an enhanced view of certain costs the Company may incur from time to time and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such costs.

M&A Transaction cost – The Company excluded costs associated with the proposed Pericom Semiconductor Corporation acquisition, which consisted of advisory, legal and other professional and consulting fees. These costs were expensed in the third quarter of 2015 as that was when the costs were incurred and services were received of 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 an enhanced view of certain costs the Company may incur from time to time and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods that may not reflect such costs.

Impairment of long-lived assets – The Company excluded impairments recorded on long-lived assets that were primarily related to assets that will no longer be used in our production process as we transition from six inch to eight inch production capability in our China wafer fabrication facility.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets – The Company excluded this item, including developed technologies and customer relationships. The fair value of the acquisition-related intangible assets, which was recognized through purchase accounting, is amortized using straight-line methods which approximate the proportion of future cash flows estimated to be generated each period over the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets. The Company believes the 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.

CASH FLOW ITEMS

Free cash flow (FCF) (Non-GAAP)

FCF for the third quarter 2015 is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations. For the third quarter 2015, FCF was ($2.6) million and 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 and 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.
