DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2008--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete and analog semiconductor markets, today updated its guidance for the first quarter of 2008.

The Company now expects first quarter 2008 revenue to be in the range of $95 million to $97 million and continues to expect comparable gross profit margin to the fourth quarter of 2007. The revenue guidance reflects seasonality combined with the impact of the overall weakening of the global economy, as well as the Company's foundry and subcontracting business continuing to show greater weakness than its core revenue drivers.
