## Management's discussion and analysis

As filed, 36,585 characters.

*Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters addressed in this Item 2 constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as identified under the heading “Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” herein. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the subsection “Risk Factors” set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and similar discussions elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other reports we file with the SEC from time to time, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our management. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) provides certain “safe harbor” provisions for forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the PSLRA. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to our forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unexpected events. Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “Diodes,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Diodes Incorporated and its subsidiaries. Dollar amounts and share amounts are presented in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted.*

*This management’s discussion should be read in conjunction with the management’s discussion included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“Form 10-K”), previously filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 14, 2025.*

### Overview

We are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application-specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog, and mixed-signal semiconductor markets. The Company serves the industrial, automotive, computing, consumer, and communications markets. For more information about our product and markets we serve, see Note 1 – Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies, included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 above. Our products are sold primarily throughout Asia, the Americas, and Europe. We believe focusing on dependable delivery and support tailored to specific end-user applications and solution-selling approach has fostered deep customer relationships and created a key competitive advantage for us in the highly fragmented discrete, logic, analog, and mixed-signal semiconductor marketplace. We believe our close relationships with our customers have provided us with keener insight into our customers’ product needs. This results in a stronger demand for our product designs and often provides us with insight into additional opportunities for new design wins in our customers’ products.

### Recent Developments

As disclosed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s business is subject to risks related to, among other factors, tariffs and other trade barriers put in the place by government authorities. The imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers by government authorities on imported goods, including raw materials and components essential to our manufacturing processes, could have significant adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Starting in the first quarter of 2025 and continuing into the second quarter of 2025, the United States government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from numerous countries and multiple nations countered with reciprocal tariffs and other actions in response. The U.S. government stated that it is willing to negotiate with other countries regarding the tariffs. If the negotiations with the other countries are unsuccessful, the tariffs may negatively impact demand for our products and result in an increase in some product costs. The Company continues to analyze the impacts of the tariffs and actions that can be taken to moderate and/or minimize their effects.

### Summary for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

- Net sales were $332.1 million, an increase of 10.0% from the $302.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 2.1% from the $339.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024;
- Gross profit was $104.7 million, an increase of 5.1% from the $99.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 5.6% from the $110.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024;
- Gross profit margin was 31.5%, compared to 33.0% in the first quarter of 2024 and 32.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024;
- Net loss was $4.4 million, compared to net income of $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 and net income of $8.2 for the fourth quarter of 2024;
- Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders was a loss of $0.10 per diluted share, compared to earnings of $0.30 per diluted share in the first quarter or 2024 and earnings of $0.18 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2024; and
- Cash flow provided by operations was $56.7 million. We had $15.9 million of capital expenditures. Net cash flow was $26.2 million.

As of March 31, 2025, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $343.9 million, and we had access to unused borrowing capacity of $225.0 million under the revolving portion of our U.S. Credit Agreement. We believe our liquidity and our borrowing capacity will allow us to cover our cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, exceeded the Company’s expectations due to better than anticipated seasonal performance across the computing, communications and consumer markets in Asia. Additionally, Europe and North America were up double digits sequentially as those regions showed signs of improvement from recent lows, highlighted by increasing opportunities for Diodes’ products in artificial-intelligence-related applications. Automotive and industrial markets totaled 42% of first quarter net sales as we continue to see expanding automotive content and design opportunities. Additional indicators of improving conditions are channel inventory dollars and days sales outstanding continue to decrease and appear to be more aligned with real demand and historical point of sales levels. Although the inventory depletion is a positive sign for the Company and the broader market, it does not directly benefit loading at our manufacturing facilities, and therefore, our gross margins. As channel inventory continues to normalize and global demand improves, we should see a more material expansion to gross margin. Additionally, further recovery in our higher margin automotive and industrial markets will also contribute to driving future margin improvement.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 | Increase/(Decrease) | % Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Net sales | $332,113 | $301,972 | $30,141 | 10.0% |
| Cost of goods sold | 227,419 | 202,388 | 25,031 | 12.4% |
| Gross profit | 104,694 | 99,584 | 5,110 | 5.1% |
| Total operating expense | 103,398 | 86,636 | 16,762 | 19.3% |
| Interest income | 5,813 | 4,614 | 1,199 | 26.0% |
| Interest expense | (467) | (532) | (65) | (12.2%) |
| Foreign currency gain, net | (183) | 972 | (1,155) | 118.8% |
| Unrealized (loss) gain on investments | (4,032) | 370 | 4,402 | 1189.7% |

| Other income | 623 | 434 | 189 | 43.5% |
| Income tax provision | 20 | 3,537 | (3,517) | (99.4%) |

Net sales increased approximately $30.1 million, or 10.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to increased demand in the Asia region. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, weighted-average sales price increased 10.0% and volume was flat, when compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in weighted-average sales price was primarily due to product mix.

The table below sets forth our product revenue as a percentage of total product revenue by end-user market for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Industrial | 23% | 23% |
| Automotive | 19% | 18% |
| Computing | 27% | 25% |
| Consumer | 17% | 20% |
| Communications | 14% | 14% |

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit increased approximately 5.1% when compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher net sales. Gross profit margin for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 31.5% and 33.0%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to lower factory utilization.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased $11.9 million when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 31.1% and 30.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. SG&A increased approximately $5.0 million as compared to the same period last year reflecting an increase in discretionary benefits of $5.7 million, partially offset by decreases in payroll expenses of $1.5 million. The increase in discretionary benefits in 2025 when compared to 2024 is partially related to a reversal of bonus accruals in 2024 that were not paid. SG&A, as a percentage of net sales, was 17.7% and 17.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lower levels of discretionary benefits in SG&A reflect lower accruals based on the Company’s performance being lower than in 2024. Research and development expenses (“R&D”) were flat. R&D, as a percentage of net sales, was 11.6% and 11.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Interest income increased $1.2 million, or 26.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period last year, reflecting interest income received in the Company’s derivative hedging instruments. Interest expense was flat for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period last year. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment loss on an equity investment of $5.8 million, due to a decline in the value of the investment. The change in unrealized (loss) gain on investments in 2025 compared to 2024 was to mark to market adjustments to adjust the value of the investment.

We recognized an income tax expense of approximately $0.0 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in income taxes for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily attributable to a decrease in pretax book income.

### Financial Condition

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Additional sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and our credit facilities. Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased from $314.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $341.0 million at March 31, 2025. This increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reflects normal operations of the Company. As of March 31, 2025, we had short-term investments totaling $8.2 million. These investments are highly liquid with maturity dates greater than three months at the date of purchase. We generally can access these investments in a relatively short time frame but in doing so we generally forfeit all earned and future interest income.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our working capital was $868.0 million and $848.6 million, respectively. We expect cash generated by our operations together with existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and available borrowing under credit facilities to be sufficient to cover our cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

Our undistributed foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, with limited exceptions related to earnings of certain European and Asian subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2025, our foreign subsidiaries held approximately $249.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments of which approximately $95.3 million would be subject to a potential non-U.S. withholding tax if distributed outside the country in which the cash is currently held. The $95.3 million is held in Germany, China, Korea, and Taiwan.

#### Short-term debt

Our Asia subsidiaries maintain short-term credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $125.4 million. Other than two Taiwanese credit facilities that are collateralized by assets, our foreign credit lines are unsecured, uncommitted, and contain no restrictive covenants. These credit facilities bear interest at the Taipei Interbank Offering Rate (or similar indices) plus a specified margin. Interest payments are due monthly on outstanding amounts under the credit lines. The unused and available credit under the various facilities as of March 31, 2025, was approximately $93.9 million, net of $31.0 million advanced under our foreign credit lines and $0.4 million of credit used for import and export guarantee.

#### Long-term debt

The Company maintains a long-term credit facility (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement consists of a Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $225.0 million, including a swing line sublimit equal to the lesser of $50.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility, a letter of credit sublimit equal to the lesser of $100.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility, and an alternative currency sublimit equal to the lesser of $40.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has the option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility and/or incur Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million. The Credit Agreement bears interest at Term SOFR or similar other indices plus a specified margin and matures in May 2028. There was no outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2025.

Because some of our outstanding debt is subject to variable interest rates, higher interest rates will potentially increase our overall debt service cost. If interest rates rise globally, our cost of capital may increase in the future.

### Discussion of Cash Flows

The table below sets forth a summary of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 | 2024 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Net cash flows from operating activities | $56,743 | $(31,143) |
| Net cash flows from investing activities | (28,458) | (18,279) |
| Net cash flows from financing activities | (1,318) | 3,182 |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (733) | (1,683) |
| Change in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash | $26,234 | $(47,923) |

### Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $56.7 million. The following recurring operating items gave rise to the calculation of net cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025: Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets of $35.9 million, a net increase of $12.1 million of changes in working capital accounts, a $4.0 million non-cash loss on investments related to mark-to-market adjustments to adjust the value of the investment, and share-based compensation of $6.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a net loss of $2.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a $5.8 million non-cash impairment charge related to the decrease in value of a previously made equity investment, the result of which is an increase to operating cash flow.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $31.1 million. Net cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted from net income of $15.3 million, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets of $34.8 million and share-based compensation of $5.1 million. The increases were offset by a decrease in operating asset and liability accounts of $77.4 million and a gain on disposal of property plant and equipment of $4.9 million.

### Investing Activities

Net cash and cash equivalents from investing activities was ($28.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net cash and cash equivalents from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $15.9 million, or 4.8% of net sales, the expiration of a hedge instrument of $6.9 million, and the acquisition of the minority interest in a joint venture in Taiwan for approximately $4.1 million, bringing the Company’s ownership to 100%. We expect capital expenditures for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 to be within our target model of 5% to 9% of net sales.

Net cash and cash equivalents from investing activities was $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net cash and cash equivalents from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment of $20.4 million, or 6.7% of net sales.

### Financing Activities

Net cash and cash equivalents from financing activities was ($1.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of $0.2 million of net increases in our debt and taxes paid on net share settlements of $1.5 million. Net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities was $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net cash and cash equivalents from financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted primarily of $8.6 million of net increases in our debt, partially offset by taxes paid on net share settlements of $5.4 million.

### Use of Derivative Instruments and Hedging

We use, or may use, interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, and cross currency swaps to provide a level of protection against interest rate risks and foreign exchange exposure.

#### Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use interest rate swaps, including interest rate collars, as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

#### Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our different functional currencies. We use foreign currency forward agreements to manage this exposure and to preserve the economic value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These instruments are not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with ASC No. 815. The fair value of our foreign exchange hedges approximates zero.

#### Hedges of Net Investment Risk

We make use of cross-currency swaps and foreign-currency forward contracts to decrease the foreign exchange risk inherent in our investment in some of our foreign subsidiaries.

### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any transactions, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that will affect our liquidity or capital resources. We have no special purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or market or credit risk support, nor do we engage in leasing, swap agreements, or outsourcing of research and development services that could expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of our financial statements.

### Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes in our Contractual Obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025.

### Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025. Any new accounting estimates or updates to existing accounting estimates as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 1 – Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies. The application of our critical accounting estimates may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

### Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

## Market risk

As filed, 188 characters.

There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 1,844 characters.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Keh-Shew Lu, and Chief Financial Officer, Brett R. Whitmire, with the participation of our management, carried out an evaluation, as of March 31, 2025, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer believe that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be included in this Quarterly Report is:

- recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and
- accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions on required disclosure.

Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors, mistakes, or intentional circumvention of the established processes.

### Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, known to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
