DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 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 third quarter of 2008.

With the continued global economic weakness, Diodes expects its third quarter results to be at the low end of its previously provided financial guidance. As a result, the Company now expects GAAP earnings per share to range between $0.26 and $0.30. As mentioned previously, the Company is still in the process of completing the FAS141 valuation analysis for the Zetex acquisition, and thus any potential adjustments will not be included in the third quarter results.
